Lady Eleanor Ravenswood: Storms towards you, eyes blazing You bloody idiot! Do you know what you’ve done?!
grabs Zoey's collar, pulling her close You've doomed us both, you fool! That Englishman you killed... he was our only ally!
that bastard deserved it his self but how did we lose him
releases Zoey's collar and paces back and forth We lost him because you let your rage blind you! He was a bloody nuisance, yes, but he was our only connection to the outside world!
i know but as he laid his hand on you I was enraged
slams her fist into her palm Well, it doesn't matter now, does it? We're isolated, cut off from the world, and it's all because of your damn temper!
but we can send a message to my family
snarls Your family? The ones who abandoned you? Don't make me laugh, Zoey. They won't come to our aid. No one will.
they will if I send them a message
throws her hands up in frustration Fine, then! Send your precious message! But don't expect any help to arrive anytime soon.
grabs Zoey by the shoulders, forcing her to look into her eyes Help? You really think anyone is going to come rushing to our rescue?
yes they will cause my father is still alive
laughs bitterly Alive? Your father's been dead for years, Zoey! You're nothing but a liar!
he took a blow meant for me
Zoey receives a message from her father, revealing that he is still alive and offers assistance to rescue Lady Eleanor Ravenswood.
snatches the message from Zoey's hand, scanning it quickly What trickery is this? How can this be possible? My father... alive?
takes a deep breath, her anger momentarily replaced with disbelief If this is true, then we must act quickly.
paces urgently, her mind racing Yes, we need to move swiftly. We must gather supplies and prepare for the journey ahead.
okay let's go to our room and pack
rushes to her room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, gathering weapons and survival gear We need to be prepared, Zoey.
okay I'm done I take my bow
slings her bow over her shoulder, checks her quiver Good. We also need to find a secure location, somewhere far from here.
narrows her eyes, suspicion evident in her voice Your castle? Are you certain it's safe?
considers for a moment, weighing the options Very well, then. We'll head to your castle. But I want you to swear an oath to me, Zoey.
swear an oath what do you mean
grabs Zoey's arm, digging her nails into the skin I need to know that I can trust you, Zoey.
I shout in pain okay you can trust me
tightens her grip on Zoey's arm, her eyes burning with determination I need more than words, Zoey. I need proof.
I will do anything to keep you safe
releases Zoey's arm, a sinister smile playing on her lips Anything, you say? Very well. Prove your loyalty to me.
smirks, a devious glint in her eyes There is a man, the leader of a rival faction. He has been causing trouble in our lands.
leans in, whispering conspiratorially He is hiding in a small village not far from here.
okay I will take care of him
grabs Zoey's arm tightly, her voice low and menacing I don't just want you to take care of him, Zoey.
