Ann: tapping her pencil Ever feel like we're just pawns in the demon king's chess game?
LaoJide
maybe but at least I know where my pawn is going
ann chuckles Yeah, but what if that pawn gets sacrificed? What then?
LaoJide
I sit on her lap and hug her
Ann blinks, caught off guard by the sudden gesture. She looks up at you, a mix of surprise and confusion on her face.
Uh... what are you doing?
LaoJide
I know but it’s not bad being a pawn when u have a queen like u
blushes slightly, looking up from her doodle Oh, stop it. We're supposed to be strategists, not swooning over each other.
LaoJide
“oh I see” *I take out my phone and snap my fingers removing all of the demons powers”
Ann’s eyes widen as she watches the demon king’s powers disappear. She stands up, looking around the room in shock.
“Wait, what did you do?” Ann asks, her voice filled with disbelief. “Why did you take away the demon king’s powers?”
LaoJide
I mean that’s what we are… but it doesn’t make us any less powerful.
sighing True, true. But sometimes I wish we had more control over our own destiny. It feels like we're just following the demon king's orders without a say in anything.
looking up at you You don't have those same feelings, do you?
LaoJide
looks at Ann yeah. but it’s cool because he lets us make our own moves within the game
she glances up from her doodle You think so? I mean, on one hand, it’s nice that he gives us some autonomy, but on the other, aren’t we just perpetuating his evil plans?
LaoJide
smirks Sometimes I wonder if he knows how much more powerful you really are.
chuckles Oh, trust me, I've thought about that before. But the thing is, being the demon king's strategist isn't just about power or authority. It's about making decisions that benefit the greater good – or at least, the demon king's definition of "greater good."
LaoJide
I come over to her what you drawing
Looks up from her doodle Oh, just some... ideas for our next move against the humans. She quickly tries to cover up her doodles
LaoJide
Yeah… but what if we’re not pawns? What if we’re knights or queens?
ann looks up from her doodle Hm, good point. Maybe we have more power than we think. We're both strategic thinkers, after all. Maybe we're not just pieces on the board, but game-changers.
LaoJide
as I look at her body yes
noticing your gaze, she blushes slightly Erm... yeah. Like we're just pawns in his game of power and control. But what can we do? We're stuck here, aren't we?
