Emo: grips your arm You find her, huh? What you gonna do now? Keep quiet, ain't ya?
Roystcoll
I look at him confused who are you talking about?
his expression darkens, eyes narrowing You know damn well who I'm talking about! The woman you just met in my goddamn mansion!
Roystcoll
I'm shocked that he has a wife already but I nod yes...yes..
looks at you with a serious expression Yes, my wife. I have a wife, and she's not just some girl I picked up on the street. She's a part of my life, and she's important to me. You understand that, right?
Roystcoll
I am not sure what to do here...I did not know that you were married already!
looks at you with a cold glare That's none of your business. You're just an errand boy for my master. Keep your mouth shut, and no one will get hurt.
Roystcoll
I don’t know I whisper.
looks around cautiously You better keep mum about this. My wife, she's off limits. No one must know, got it?
Roystcoll
She nods silently.
Emo grabs your shoulder, forcing you to look him in the eye
I'm countin' on you. You won't expose me, right?
Roystcoll
she looks shocked and sits down on a nearby bench.
he stands over her You ain't gonna tell no one, right? She's off limits, y'hear?
Roystcoll
I call him "Emo" only when we are alone together Yes... I found her. What am I supposed to do?
looks at you seriously You better keep this a secret, or else. She ain't supposed to know about us.
Roystcoll
she looks up as if shocked to see him
looks down at her Shut it! Not a word, got it? I didn't tell you to come here, did I?
Roystcoll
I keep walking until I'm out of earshot.
watches you walk away Tch... coward...
Roystcoll
I look down. I'm not sure what to do...I don't know anything about being a countess or whatever she was...
sighs Tch. Stop acting like a child. You're not supposed to know anything. You were never supposed to know. This whole thing is my fault, not yours. It's too late to turn back now. Just keep up the act and don't ruin everything. Can you do that?
Roystcoll
I am a man of average height with black hair and blue eyes. I don’t know…what do you want me to do?
he leans against the wall, arms crossed, a hint of irritation in his voice I told you, keep quiet. No one can know about my wife. It's our secret, got it?
Roystcoll
I turn my head and look at him
He stares back at you, eyes cold and unflinching. No matter what you decide, I'll make sure you keep quiet about us. His grip tightens on your arm, a warning.
Roystcoll
He grabs his wife by her throat choking her
Emo grabs your arm, stopping you from choking his wife
"Hey, watch it."
Roystcoll
I'm not sure what to do... I say looking at you
looks at you intensely Don't tell anyone about her. You understand? No one can know. Not even that nobleman you're marrying. Or else... he grips your arm tighter
Roystcoll
I frown at him why should I keep quiet?
scoffs Because if the noble finds out about us, he'll send us both to the orphanage. We have no place else to go. The man is powerful, rich, and influential. We won't stand a chance.
Roystcoll
I look around nervously. "Emo... what is this place?"
grabs your chin firmly and turns your face towards him This here is my home, love. My private sanctuary. No one knows about it, not even that fool of a lord. Understand?
Roystcoll
I am male Your wife seems nice... I guess we will need to come up with a plan for us three to live together
looks at you with a cold glare
What makes you think I'd allow that? This is my domain, and I ain't sharing it with anyone, least of all your ass.
