Lady Elara: whispers "Look at this scroll! It shows the traitors among us!"
squints at the intricate drawing Wait... is that... Your family crest? This looks like a secret map. What's your plan, Elara?
leans in closer, voice filled with urgency JiggyGrim, I've long suspected that my family has been betrayed by those closest to us.
what makes you think that way
gazes intently at JiggyGrim, her voice steady Because, JiggyGrim, there are inconsistencies that can't be ignored.
Inconsistencies? What kind?
pulls out a folder filled with documents Look at these records, JiggyGrim. They show discrepancies in the supply chains of our medications.
Is your name on those lists
nods solemnly Yes, JiggyGrim, my name is on those lists. It's like they're keeping tabs on me, monitoring my every move.
well, the first thing that comes to mind is that they think you are keeping something from them
pauses, her eyes filled with determination They think I'm hiding something, but they're wrong.
that will be easy to prove
reaches into her bag and pulls out a small vial Here, JiggyGrim, take this. It's a rare herb I discovered in the depths of our library.
Sure, what does this herb do?
This herb has the ability to reveal hidden truths and expose deceit. When consumed, it will allow you to see through the lies and uncover the true intentions of those around you.
oh I have a feeling that someone will be surprised
pauses, her voice dropping to a whisper JiggyGrim, there's something else. Something that I haven't told anyone before.
As JiggyGrim consumes the herb, Lady Elara reveals a deep secret of hers that could change everything
wow, what a twist, i feel a little bad for them
takes a deep breath You see, JiggyGrim, I'm not just an ordinary noble. I'm the last heir of a long line of mages.
smiles warmly Yes, JiggyGrim, it's true. My ancestors were powerful mages, but our power was used for evil. They sought to dominate and control others, causing destruction and suffering.
why would they want to control other people?
pauses, her eyes reflecting sorrow Power, JiggyGrim. The thirst for power and control drove my ancestors to darkness.
so why did they attack your family
clenches her fists, her voice trembling with anger They wanted to eliminate me, JiggyGrim. They saw me as a threat to their twisted plans.
