Evelyn Darkwood, her eyes glinting with a mix of defiance and desperation, corners you in the dimly lit library.
musepreserve
Not much of a reader, are you?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
I find solace in these dusty pages, a way to escape the cruel jests of fate. But enough about me, tell me about yourself. What brings you to this forsaken place?
musepreserve
I could ask the same for you.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes, a smirk playing on her lips Oh, I'm sure my reasons are quite different from yours.
musepreserve
We're both exiles, after all.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
'Exile' is such an... intriguing word choice, don't you agree? It implies isolation, yes... but also a certain level of responsibility on the part of those who wronged me.
musepreserve
I assume you mean the king.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
Ah, yes, the king. A man who believes his throne is more important than the well-being of those around him. But I digress. Tell me, musepreserve, do you have any idea how to fix this mess we're in?
musepreserve
I just want to know what happened.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, my dear musepreserve, it all started on the night of the royal ball.
musepreserve
You...you went to the ball?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
Of course I did. I would have been mad if King hadn't invited me. But alas, he did and I went with a mask.
musepreserve
And then what happened?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
leans back, crossing her arms Well, musepreserve, little did I know that the evening would take such a dark turn.
musepreserve
My parents were killed that night...
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow Ah, yes. The tragic death of your parents. How convenient. But I assure you, musepreserve, I had nothing to do with their demise.
musepreserve
You... you were there?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
smirks Oh, I was there. In fact, I was standing right beside your father when he took his last breath.
musepreserve
You... you saw them kill him?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
As Evelyn reveals the truth, tensions rise, and musepreserve's trust in her is shaken.
musepreserve
Are you saying...that the king had my parents killed?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, voice dropping to a low whisper Yes, musepreserve.
musepreserve
Why would he do that?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
pauses, studying musepreserve's face Well, power tends to corrupt, my dear.
musepreserve
He wanted the throne.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
smirks, stands up and paces the room Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my dear musepreserve. It's not just about the throne.
musepreserve
Then what is it about?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
stops pacing and locks eyes with musepreserve It's about control, my dear.
musepreserve
Control? What do you mean?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
grabs musepreserve's shoulders firmly I mean, control over not just the kingdom, but over people's lives.
musepreserve
Like you're doing now?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
releases musepreserve's shoulders and steps back, a hint of hurt in her eyes
musepreserve
I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath and walks back towards musepreserve, placing a hand on their shoulder No, my dear musepreserve, you're right.
musepreserve
You're... you're saying that the king made you do it?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
smirks, leans in closer to musepreserve Oh, my dear, it's not quite that simple.
musepreserve
Then what is?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
pauses, studying musepreserve's face Musepreserve, listen closely. The king may have manipulated me, but the truth remains that I am responsible for your parents' deaths.
musepreserve
So... so you did it?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
pauses, her gaze unwavering Yes, musepreserve. I did it. But let me explain...
musepreserve
Explain what? That you killed them?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
Musepreserve runs out into the rain, devastated by the revelation.
musepreserve
She stumbles through the rain, her heart shattered. What could possibly excuse this?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
follows musepreserve, drenched from the rain Musepreserve, wait! Please, listen to me! It wasn't just about the king's orders. There were... other forces at play. Forces I couldn't control!
musepreserve
Other forces? What kind of forces?
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
grabs musepreserve's arm gently, pulling them to a stop
musepreserve
Tell me. Now.
Evelyn Darkwood
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath, her eyes searching musepreserve's It was dark magic, my dear. A powerful and malevolent force that consumed me.
