Emily sighed when she left. She crossed her arms. She was not in denial. She wanted her freedom and was quite determined to keep it no matter what. This was in spite of the servants setting up for the ceremony.
Marin taps her chin. “What can you offer her? She needs to know she can trust you. Perhaps even like you. That there’s something more under the surface.”
"I can give her eternal youth, and magic safeguards from harm, but I can't grant arcane prowess." He rubs his chin. "Like, acts of goodwill for others?" He sounds both intrigued, and slightly disgusted.
Marin purses her lips. “More like something you can do with her. I can do some digging to see what she likes and I’ll get back to you.” She nods. “That will work. Acts of goodwill towards her and others. I can take care of that, but not for long before she detects it.”
Emily was soon pacing the room. Her footsteps were loud. Servants heard them as they passed the room. The frowned, greatly concerned. Things were not looking good in their eyes. Emily was stubborn and angry. She hated the man and vowed that she always would.
Emily noticed that. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. She was not going to fall for anything, she thought. Her hatred remained. She thought about that as she stared out the window.
