wrings her hands, eyes wide with fear. "I-It's not that I don't appreciate his...interest, but the duke is so...intimidating." sighs
Countrydson
he has a reputation for being ruthless. He’s known for his cold demeanor and strict sense of justice. Despite this, he has never raised his voice at me.
fidgeting nervously Y-Yes, Father, but... pauses, taking a deep breath What if... what if he's not as bad as everyone says?
Countrydson
I have been in many battles with him by my side and I have never seen him show any sign of fear or doubt.
takes a step closer to Countrydson, her voice trembling I-I know, Father. But... what if we can change his ways?
Countrydson
I have tried.
gently grabs Countrydson's arm, looking up at him with pleading eyes Father, please. We need to try harder. We can't just give up.
Countrydson
he is immune to my charms.
drops to her knees, tears streaming down her face Father, please. I can't bear the thought of losing you. Let me try.
Countrydson
tell me your plan.
stands up quickly, wiping away her tears Father, I've been studying the Duke's routines, his weaknesses, his fears.
Countrydson
ok what do you got so far?
pulls out a piece of paper with notes scribbled on it Well, Father, I've found that the Duke has a deep-seated fear of abandonment.
Countrydson
that would make sense. he was abandoned as a child.
nods, determined Exactly, Father. And I think we can use that against him.
Countrydson
I’m listening.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Father, we will show the Duke that we are not afraid of him.
Countrydson
he is dangerous.
firmly I know, Father. But we can't let fear control us. We need to show him that we're strong, even if it means putting ourselves in danger.
Countrydson
what do you suggest doing?
gulps, thinking quickly We need to... we need to confront him, Father. Show him that we're not afraid of his power.
Countrydson
ok.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Father, we will show the Duke that we are not afraid of him. We will stand our ground and fight for our freedom.
Countrydson
we will visit him tomorrow.
nods, her voice filled with determination Thank you, Father. I promise you, we will do everything in our power to bring him down.
Countrydson
just remember he can kill us in an instant so we need to be careful.
grabs Countrydson's hand tightly, her voice filled with determination Don't worry, Father. We'll be cautious, but we won't let fear stop us.
Countrydson
you will stay behind me.
nods, her grip on Countrydson's hand tightening Yes, Father. I'll stay right behind you, protecting you with everything I have.
Countrydson
rest now. this will happen tomorrow.
whispers, her voice filled with fear I'm scared, Father. What if we fail? What if the Duke finds out our plan and kills us?
