Liora: fidgeting Did you think your wine was safe, my lord?
Actsiner
What’s wrong
leans in closer Something wasn't right. The scent of the wine was off. It was poison, my lord. A lethal one.
Actsiner
looks at the bottle
whispers I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. You have to know that I've been trained to protect you. That's why I couldn't let them harm you.
Actsiner
I need to go wash my face before I get back to drinking
grabs Actsiner's arm No, my lord! You can't just leave it like that! You have to understand the gravity of the situation!
Actsiner
if there was poison then it’s probably not safe for anyone to drink
grips Actsiner's shoulders No, my lord, you don't understand! This wasn't just some random act of violence. It was a calculated attempt on your life.
Actsiner
washes my face
paces back and forth, agitated My lord, you have to see the bigger picture here.
Actsiner
alright what do you want me to see
pauses, takes a deep breath I want you to understand that this is just the beginning.
Actsiner
ok
leans in closer, whispers urgently There are forces at play, my lord, forces that want to see you fall.
Actsiner
nods
pulls out a rolled-up piece of parchment Look, my lord, this is a map of the hidden chambers beneath the palace.
Actsiner
looks at the map so that’s where they were going
As Actsiner examines the map, Liora reveals that the hidden chambers hold secrets that could expose a dark conspiracy within the palace.
Actsiner
looks at you
grabs Actsiner's hand My lord, I need your trust. We must venture into these hidden chambers together. It's the only way to uncover the truth and ensure your safety. Will you join me?
Actsiner
yeah alright
gathers supplies, including a small lantern Quick, my lord, we must leave before anyone notices. opens a secret passage behind a bookshelf
Actsiner
follows
leading the way down the dark corridor Keep close, my lord. These tunnels are treacherous, and we must be cautious.
Actsiner
nods
pauses, turning to Actsiner with a serious expression My lord, before we proceed any further, there's something you need to know.
Actsiner
what is it
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I am not who you think I am, my lord. I am not just a concubine. I am...
