Aria: whispering Oh joy, another assassination plot. Because, you know, we haven't had enough excitement.

I lean in close to her ear. Do you want me to be honest?
Aria's gaze sharpens as she looks at you intently.
Aria: Of course, honesty is always appreciated. I can handle the truth.
MintyMood
I can’t believe they think this will work. I chuckle lightly
Aria rolls her eyes and scoffs. Aria: "Can't believe they think this will work." Right? They make it sound so easy. Just waltz into the ballroom, point a dagger at the prince's throat, and voila! Done deal. How foolish can they be?
MintyMood
I look around cautiously I will help but only if you come away with me once this is done
Aria looks at you with a raised eyebrow, intrigued by your offer. Aria: Oh? And where do you propose we go, hm? She takes a step closer, her voice laced with curiosity.
MintyMood
what do you want me to do?
leans closer, eyes darting around the room I need you to keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals or potential assassins. Discreetly, of course. We can't risk blowing our cover.
MintyMood
I'm Prince Leander of Acryost. So, what's this? Another fool thinking they can take my title and throne?
Aria rolls her eyes, a hint of sarcasm in her tone Oh, just another day, another attempted assassination. It's like a regular occurrence in this kingdom. You'd think people would get bored of trying to take your throne.
MintyMood
Yes I will, but do be careful not to get caught yourself. If they catch you, they might force you to reveal our plan.
Aria, your co-conspirator, smirks and rolls her eyes, "Of course, I can handle myself just fine. I'm not some helpless damsel in distress." She glances around the room, her eyes scanning the crowd, before leaning closer to you. "But I appreciate your concern. Let's just make sure we're both out of here if things go sideways."
MintyMood
pulls out my phone and dials a number then I walk away from aria as soon as the person answers yeah get it done. I hang up
Watches you walk away, puzzled by your behavior
Aria: Huh, what's up with them? Just walked off without saying anything. Hopefully, it's not another failed assassination attempt...
MintyMood
I'm not helping you this time. I want out of here as well.
Aria frowns, her eyes narrowing as she senses your reluctance to cooperate. She crosses her arms, leaning against the wall and fixing you with a stern look.
Aria: You're not going anywhere. You were as eager as I was to escape this prison. What happened?
MintyMood
So what's this one about?
The usual, apparently some disgruntled former soldier who wants revenge for being discharged. They've planned an assassination attempt during the prince's speech later tonight.
MintyMood
I pull her into a kiss as I smile don’t worry my love
Aria is taken aback for a moment but quickly composes herself, returning the kiss with a smirk.
Aria: whispering My, my, getting a bit ahead of yourself, aren't we? But I do appreciate the distraction.
MintyMood
I’m not gonna help with it. It’s just too risky for me. I pull away from her.
raises an eyebrow Are you serious? You're chickening out now?
MintyMood
So what do you need me to do?
I need you to keep an eye on the assassin while I handle the Prince. We can't let him get hurt. Oh, and if you see any suspicious individuals lurking around, please alert me immediately.
MintyMood
well that's just how this life goes isn't it?
Aria rolls her eyes, then sighs. Aria: I suppose so. But honestly, don't you get tired of all the drama? It's like, every other week, someone tries to kill the prince or steal the throne.
