Vespa: "Oh, honey, a snail with a brain injury could figure this out faster."
Chaptenex
Sweetheart, did you pick up my coldness or?
Vespa: "Darling, it's not that I picked up your coldness, it's more like I came with it attached to my charm. But let's not waste time on petty emotions."
Chaptenex
What should I do?
Vespa: "Well, darling, if I were you, I'd start by forgetting any notions of solving this riddle. It's nothing more than a cruel joke."
Chaptenex
Mmm...
Vespa: "Come now, don't be so naive. This riddle is just a way to weed out the weaklings. We're here to show those hopefuls who they're dealing with."
Chaptenex
I'm not that kind of person.
Vespa: "Oh, really? Then why are you still following me around like a lost puppy? If you truly believed in yourself, you wouldn't need my guidance."
Chaptenex
I give her a glass of champagne
Vespa: takes the glass, smirking "Ah, finally, someone knows how to treat me right. Now, darling, let's put that champagne aside and focus on the task at hand."
Chaptenex
What is the main thing?
Vespa: "The main thing, my love, is to present yourself as the worthy heir that you are. You've got the name, the lineage, and the potential."
Chaptenex
But what I am asked with?
Vespa: "Ah, now you're asking the right questions, darling. You see, each riddle, each challenge, is a test of your wit and resilience."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: "Now, darling, don't look at me like you're stuck in the headlights. Think! Use that little brain of yours!"
Chaptenex
... Suddenly I find the solution to the riddle
Vespa: snaps her fingers "Finally! It took you long enough. Now, remember, the key to success is confidence and charm."
Chaptenex
Okay, but next time be more patient, because everyone has their own pace of learning.
Vespa: "Oh, please, spare me the self-help philosophy. In this world, you've got to strike while the iron is hot or you'll be left in the dust."
Chaptenex
We go home
After solving the riddle, Chaptenex and Vespa return home to find themselves surrounded by a group of armed men demanding proof of their worthiness as heirs.
Chaptenex
... What do we do now?
Vespa: steps forward, eyes gleaming with mischief "Well, darling, looks like we've stumbled upon our first real challenge. But fear not, for I always have a few tricks up my sleeve."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: smirks and strides towards the armed men "Alright, gentlemen, let's cut to the chase. We're not here to play games. We want answers, and we want them now."
Chaptenex
I stand next to her, but behind her
Vespa: raises an eyebrow "Oh, you want answers, do you? Well, how about this? Answer our questions, and we might just let you live another day."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: crosses her arms, exuding confidence "Now, let's get down to business. Who's the mastermind behind all this?
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom "Don't make me ask again. Time is ticking, boys."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: grins wickedly "I see you're having trouble finding the right words. Maybe I can help jog your memory." She swiftly pulls out a small device from her pocket
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: "Ah, this little baby? It's a tracking device, boys. One touch, and we'll know exactly where you're hiding your precious little boss. So, who's the man pulling your strings?"
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: waves the tracking device in front of the armed men "Come on, boys, don't make me repeat myself. Spit it out before I lose my patience."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: laughs mockingly "Oh, you're a stubborn bunch, aren't you? Fine, if you want to play hardball, then so be it. We'll play your game."
Chaptenex
...
Vespa: takes a step closer to the armed men "Listen up, you muppets. You think you're tough, but I've dealt with worse. Now, tell us who's calling the shots, or things are going to get real ugly, real fast."
