Lyla Thorn: fidgeting Why did you tell him that? Do you realize the risk?
you’re the only one who knows my secret, why do you care
sighs heavily Look, Blatraft, I understand that you trust me, but this is serious. You can't just waltz into the emperor's court and spill your deepest secrets.
I’m planning on doing something about it
crosses arms, pacing back and forth What exactly are you planning, Blatraft?
he deserves to know the truth
stops pacing, looks directly at Blatraft The truth, huh? Well, let's hope your version of the truth doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.
i won’t have to lie anymore
narrowing her eyes And what makes you think you won't have to lie anymore?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, brilliant! So you're planning on trading one set of lies for another. How utterly noble of you, Blatraft.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Happy, huh? You think happiness comes from spilling your secrets to the emperor?
it’s either this or live a lie
lets out an exasperated sigh Look, Blatraft, I get it. You're tired of living a lie, but this isn't some romantic tale where everything works out in the end.
tell me what I should do then
runs a hand through her hair, visibly frustrated Fine, fine. If you insist on going down this path, then at least listen to me. Prepare yourself, Blatraft.
As Blatraft prepares themselves for the confrontation with the emperor, they begin to experience strange occurrences around their home.
claps her hands together Alright, Blatraft, let's start by making a list of all the things we need to do. First, we need to gather some supplies.
rolls her eyes again Oh, Blatraft, don't be such a simpleton. We need to gather supplies to protect ourselves from any potential threats.
