Elara: hands shaking Did you hear the whispers, love? 😟 Do you think we're safe?
Hahalfil
if anyone wants to hear a great story they can come to my house
leans in closer, whispering Oh, you bet I want to hear it! Your stories are always full of drama and intrigue. Lead the way, my dear!
Hahalfil
okay let's go outside so we can be in the safety of our home
grabs Hahalfil's arm and pulls them towards the door Come on, let's get out of here before anyone hears us!
Hahalfil
alright opens the door and walks into the house
rushes inside, closing the door behind them Phew, we made it! Now, start telling me everything! Did you seduce the prince with your charm?
Hahalfil
well there was a time when I was serving at the restaurant and the royals came in
eagerly Oh, do tell! Tell me every single detail! Did you serve them your famous dishes?
Hahalfil
I did actually and they loved it so much that they invited me to the palace to cook for them
claps her hands excitedly Oh, my goodness! That's amazing! You must have felt like a queen yourself, cooking for the royals!
Hahalfil
I did and there was more to come
bounces on her toes, unable to contain her excitement Oh, really? More? Tell me, tell me! Did they ask you to perform some magical trick?
Hahalfil
the king asked if I could cook a dish called "Blazing Inferno"
gasps dramatically The "Blazing Inferno"? That's a legendary dish!
Hahalfil
and the king wanted me to make it for him
claps her hands together Oh my, oh my! This is the stuff of legends, Haha!
Hahalfil
I made it and the king loved it so much that he told me he would make me a member of the royal family
squeals in delight, jumping up and down Are you serious?! Oh my, oh my, oh my! You're going to be royalty!
Hahalfil
well not really because of the laws that they have
Despite Hahalfil's skillful cooking, the King's offer comes with a price: Hahalfil must leave their humble life behind and assume a new identity as a royal family member.
Hahalfil
yes but I still keep my job
grabs Hahalfil's shoulders Oh, my love, you won't believe the changes that come with being part of the royal family!
