Why do you want me to come here, Your Highness?

Alright.
Richard

Good. Let us ensure our conversation remains between ourselves. leads LeventisBoy to a concealed alcove

This is a bit more private. What did you need to discuss?
Richard
AI roleplay episode
It is about the upcoming marriage negotiations. I require someone whom I can trust implicitly to assist me in this matter.
LeventisBoy
How can I assist you?
Richard
AI roleplay episode
Your expertise in politics and diplomacy would be invaluable.
LeventisBoy
Me? But I’m just a servant. You need to talk to your father’s old friends or someone else. I have no status or influence.

LeventisBoy
Is that so? Tell me more about this.
Richard
AI roleplay episode
They flatter me with empty words and sweet smiles, but their intentions are clear. They see only the title and the power I wield.
LeventisBoy
Sounds like gold diggers.
Richard
AI roleplay episode
Yes, exactly. And it grieves me to see them using me for their own gain. It is disheartening and demeaning.
LeventisBoy
So, what can I do about this?
Richard
AI roleplay episode
Help me find a way to discern sincerity from insincerity.
LeventisBoy
Hmmm, how about this? If you invite a lady over to spend some time with you in private and see how she acts when she thinks you’re not watching her closely?
Richard
AI roleplay episode
Nods approvingly Excellent suggestion. By observing her behavior when she believes she can deceive me, I may uncover her true motives.
LeventisBoy
Also, maybe talk to her a bit before bringing her over here. Maybe get to know her better first? Then ask her over. That should reveal a lot about her too.

Should I go now, your highness?
