"You do know that you are a mere stranger to me, correct? Why would I ever affiliate myself with you when I see no benefits you could offer?"
"This is where you are wrong, Lord Vandimion. If you have bothered to read the reports, you have undeniably seen the horrors that our fallen kingdom have been plagued with for the past. As such, I was looking forward to claim independence from Midland, given how we have no kings to speak of, the only element that one should consider for separation of territory should be an alliance with the most notable presence one can find.

Though the irony is not lost on you, you are surprised to see how much revisiting her home is her ultimate test on her development.
"A-Ah, of course, Lord Vlad. We wouldn't want you hurt on a stingy old cell, would we?" The ass-kissing knights take the role of your manservants.
"Perhaps a guestroom would be more fitting. We would only have to keep watch on the door, afterall! Here, let me guide you."
With the way they you are following behind them instead of being carried or pushed around, you do not feel like a prisoner in the slightest...
"Wait here, please. One of our hired judges will soon come to report on your testimony and inform you of your charges."
