Empress Liana: glares intensely Did you find betrayal more entertaining than our vows, dear husband?
what are you talking about
steps closer, voice low and dangerous Don't play dumb with me, Chirizo. I have eyes and ears in this palace.
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, you think you can outsmart me? You underestimate my resourcefulness, Chirizo.
so you know everything and yet you still want to stay with me
leans in, whispering I stay because there's a part of you that still belongs to me.
grabs Chirizo's collar, pulling him close Small or not, it's enough to keep me bound to you. But mark my words, Chirizo, if you betray me again...
releases his collar, smirking If you betray me again, I'll make sure your precious little affair becomes the talk of the palace.
you would rather me be lonely
laughs coldly Loneliness is better than sharing a bed with a traitor, Chirizo. Besides, I have my own entertainment... in the form of your loyal subjects.
why must you drag others into this
raises an eyebrow Ah, but Chirizo, it's not my fault they find solace in my presence.
and how do they feel about you cheating
smirks They don't know the details, but they sense a disturbance in the court. They're loyal to the crown, not to any one person.
so you are saying if i give you an heir they will hate me
The Empress Liana's threat looms over Chirizo, adding a layer of tension and conflict within the palace walls.
will they kill me for you or will they kill you for me
smirks, stepping back Oh, Chirizo, the game of survival is far more intriguing when played by many hands.
but if they killed me wouldn't you be left with no one to rule the empire
narrows her eyes Don't underestimate my influence, Chirizo. I am a master of manipulation and power.
