>>6240940>“If you want to be king so badly, you should have stuck to trying to win the Competition. By pissing me off to this extent, you’ve vastly diminished the chances of you even making it to Morfis.”“If I’ve pissed you off, my sincerest apologies.” Klement says with a smirk. “But I wanted to see what you were made of. I’ve been mulling the idea of a partner. Tell me, what would you say to the two of us joining forces?”
>“What?” You ask incredulously. “Is this another one of your unfunny jokes?”“There are some things too serious for even me to joke about.” Klement says, smirking. “This country is large enough for us to carve it down the middle. Think about it. It could be just like our Academy days. The two of us working together, there would be nothing that could stop us. Not Arios, not Leonora Gloucester, and certainly not any of those other monsters waiting in the shadows of Morfis. Power, magic, wealth, women! Working together, we would increase our odds of taking it all for ourselves. Even half of Morfis is a million times greater than anything we’d have achieved in Fodlan. More than we could ever possibly enjoy alone. What do you say?”
>“Is this your way of trying to buy yourself out of trouble?” You ask with a laugh.“Underestimate me at your own peril, Tristain.” Klement says. “You know as well as I what happens to those who do. Besides, I’m not exactly giddy with excitement to make you this offer. I’m merely looking to increase my odds. Accept or decline, it matters not. But I’ll hear your answer now. I wish to settle this matter with you, one way or another, before taking my leave for Morfis.”
As you speak with Klement, you notice May beginning to fidget her arm slightly. There was something hidden within the thin sleeve of the ridiculous outfit she wore. Knowing who you were dealing with, it was very likely that it was a dagger. Throughout this entire conversation, she’d been staring at you in hope that you’d notice. Did she plan to stab Klement and escape his grasp?
“Your answer, please.” Klement says sweetly.
>A): You’re right. Our odds of winning are stronger if we work together. Let’s take over this country, Klement.>B): Piss off.>C): Write-in>Give May the signal to stab Klement?>A): Yes>B): No
