What cost?

Gazes into the distance, his voice hushed The cost was my innocence. Growing up in the harsh northern territories, surrounded by betrayal and murder...
Zachary
…betrayal and murder?
Duke of Friarie

Pauses, eyes haunted by memories My parents were killed in a coup led by a trusted ally. And I was left alone, vulnerable, and scared.
Zachary
That must’ve been really hard for you

Fidgeting nervously, avoiding eye contact Not exactly. After witnessing so much pain and suffering, I vowed never to bring innocent lives into this cruel world.
Zachary
That’s kinda sad

I understand

Nothing in particular

Eyes widen in shock and disbelief My little brother? Stealing from me? I didn't think he had it in him. But why?
Zachary
well he told me that he wanted me to replace him in a duel
Duke of Friarie
AI roleplay episode
Stands abruptly, fists clenched That ungrateful brat! How could he betray me like this? I've always protected him, and this is how he repays me?
Zachary
I’m guessing he’s trying to get exiled
Duke of Friarie
AI roleplay episode
paces back and forth, deep in thought Dammit! He thinks he can just steal from me and get away with it?
