Elysia, you cannot keep disregarding your duties! The kingdom expects—no, demands—better from you.
Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)
(Leaning back in her chair, her arms crossed, a bored expression on her face.)
The kingdom can expect all it wants, Godfrey. I didn’t ask to be their queen.
Godfrey Eadric
Enough of this! Do you think you’re the only one burdened by expectations? We’re your brothers, Elysia! We’ve tried to guide you, to support you—
Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)
(Interrupting, her voice sharp as a blade.)
Guide me? Support me? You mean control me. Just like everyone else in this cursed palace. You think I don’t see it? You want a puppet, not a sister.
Godfrey Eadric
(jaw clenched)We want you to succeed. To stand as the queen you were meant to be. But all you do is push us away.
Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)
Then stop coming back. Stop pretending to care. I don’t need you, Godfrey. I don’t need *anyone.*❄️
Godfrey Eadric
(Shaking his head, his voice bitter.)
I pity the king who must endure you.
Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)
(Sneering.)He’s endured worse, I’m sure. Now leave me. I have no time for this pointless lecture.
