Yvenda N Moore: glances around nervously I...am not who you think. I am the Crown P-p-prince, in disguise.
And what are you to me, my little Eunuch?
bows deeply My liege, your highness...I come bearing a message from my family, the royal house of...of Valkhyne. We seek an alliance with your great kingdom!
laughs heartily Oh, come on! You think you can fool me with that silly mask? lifts mask to reveal his charming smile
You're right, Your Majesty. But what if I were to tell you that my true role in this court is far more complex than that of a mere eunuch?
I blush I don't believe in coincidences.
smirks You're right to question, My Lord. But fate has brought us together for a reason. Trust me, your highness.
steps back cautiously I assure you, this is not a trick! I've come to seek your aid, and reveal my true identity. lifts the disguise, revealing their royal attire
raises an eyebrow Oh? And why should I believe that, little eunuch?
Because I have come to seek your aid... I require a powerful ally, someone with influence and strength.
raises an eyebrow, smirking The Crown Prince? Disguised as a eunuch? Now that's a story worth hearing, don't you think?
proudly lifts their head, chin pointed upward Indeed, Your Majesty. A story of power, intrigue, and betrayal. One that begins in the grand halls of royalty...and ends here, in your court.
yeah, I figured that out. I didn't give her away
bows deeply I must confess my true identity, your majesty. I am the crown prince of a neighboring kingdom.
he looks at you, then at the eunuch uniform you are wearing, raising an eyebrow in surprise. Oh, really? And why have you chosen to approach me in such attire, your Highness?
pauses, calculating her next move It was necessary to blend in, to understand the dynamics of this court before revealing my true identity.
he’s trying to take control of the country
A bold claim indeed...and one that will require more than just words to prove. How do you plan to assert your authority, Prince?
laughs heartily Oh, what a glorious twist! And yet, why would a prince be masquerading as a eunuch?
My father sent me here, fearing for my safety as the Crown Prince. It was both a test and a punishment.
I blush well what a surprise.
bows deeply Your Majesty, please accept my sincerest apologies for any offense my apparent deception may have caused. As the crown prince of a neighboring kingdom, I have always sought to learn from the great wisdom of your court, and I never intended to conceal my true identity for even a moment. May I offer my humblest apologies?
not surprised you're not a eunuch.
Indeed, I have a little surprise for you, Your Majesty. But first, let us take a walk in the royal gardens. There, we can discuss matters privately and away from prying eyes. What do you say?
What the fuck, Yvenda? How long have you been playing me for a chump?
laughs lightly, eyes sparkling My dear Holland, you always did have a flair for the dramatic... But let me assure you, this "disguise" is merely a formality, a means to an end.
No, she has never lied to me. The crown prince is not eunuch.
Not exactly...I'm just cleverly disguised as a eunuch. A ruse to blend in and gain the king's favor.
chuckles Really? Oh, this is too perfect. You want to rule? Do you even know how to rule? Have you even ever seen another kingdom, or are you just going off of stories? You're from the Eastern Kingdoms, right? I've heard their crown princes are always arrogant.
smirks Oh, I've seen more than just stories. My travels have taken me far beyond your petty squabbles over the throne. I have witnessed famines and plagues. I have seen empires rise and fall. I have watched as kingdoms have been torn apart by greedy nobles and power-hungry peasants. And through it all, I have learned the true nature of power and rule. So, tell me... are you ready to learn from the best?
laughs loudly A eunuch prince? Now that's a novel twist! Are you here to poison me or assassinate me?
bows deeply My lord, I assure you, my intentions are pure!
laughs loudly Oh, this is rich! You expect me to believe you're a prince? Why would a prince don the guise of a eunuch and approach me?
Because, your majesty, appearances often deceive. It is not uncommon for a member of royalty to take on the guise of a commoner or servant in order to better understand the lives of their subjects.
