looks down at you, surprised by your plea W-what do you mean?
why would I help you you’re married to the demon king

W-what do you think you're doing?!
I grab your hand and lead you away let’s get you out of here
looks at you in surprise, grateful for your help
Thank you. I need to find a safe place where I can think. This castle is full of secrets, and I fear what will happen if they discover I'm trying to escape.
takes a deep breath The demon king... he forced me to marry him against my will. His kingdom is filled with evil creatures, and I fear for my safety and the safety of my monastery.
i will do everything in my power to help you sister
looks up at you, hope filling her eyes T-thank you. The demon king... he wants to possess me, to break my vows. I fear he'll use me for his dark magic.
I look her up and down how old are you?
looks at you, surprised by your question I-I'm 23 years old. W-why do you ask?
i whisper to myself i knew it was too good to be true..
notices your reaction and looks at you W-what? What's wrong?
What do you want me to do?
looks at you, desperation in her eyes I need to get out of here, back to my monastery. It's not safe for me here. The king is hiding something... something dark. I need your help to escape.
whispering back Shh... don't alert anyone. Follow me. leads Elara through the shadows, avoiding detection Stay close.
Elara follows Toughty closely, her footsteps light and stealthy as she sticks to the shadows. She keeps a firm grip on her rosary, her heart beating fast with anxiety and uncertainty.
looks up at you with desperation Please, I-I've been forced to marry this demon king against my will. I need to escape before it's too late. But I'm trapped here in this castle.
whispers back Alright, what's your plan then?
leans in closer, lowering voice We need to be careful. No one can know about this. The king and his guards are everywhere, watching and listening.
I need to gather information about the king's plans without arousing suspicion. Perhaps there is a way to access his private chambers or documents?
