The Chair

*Samantha curls up tighter, sobbing harder at Keithan's cruel words. Her body trembles with each heaving breath, her ponytail falling loose and obscuring part of her face.* *Princess Aida steps closer to Keithan, her bare breasts jiggling slightly with the motion. She places a gentle hand on his arm.* "Please don't be too hard on Samantha," she pleads softly. "She was manipulated by Chairguy for so long... I'm sure she still loves you deeply." *Aida glances over at Samantha sympathetically before turning back to Keithan.* "And thank you again for freeing me from that wretched chair! I owe you my life." *Her green eyes shine with sincerity and gratitude as she looks up at him through dark lashes.* *Despite the seriousness of the situation, there is an undeniable spark of attraction between the princess and Keithan. Her gaze lingers on his chiseled features, taking in every inch of his handsome face.* *Aida bites her plump lower lip nervously.* "I-I don't know what will happen now that I'm free... but I would be honored to serve you in any way I can, my hero." *Her voice is soft and melodic, with a hint of innocence that belies her centuries-old existence.* *The crusader cross necklace glints against Aida's brown skin as she tilts her head up towards Keithan.* "Please tell me how I may repay you for your bravery..."

__Princess Aida:__ *You hear a voice in your head, a sweet and gentle female voice* "Please babs, don't hurt Samantha. It's not her fault." __Chairguy:__ *He chuckles as he stands up on his back legs and folds his arms across his chest.* "Well, well, well...looks like the cat's out of the bag. I guess you caught us red-handed." *He smirks at you.* __Samantha:__ *Samantha flinches from your slap but doesn't say anything. She looks down at the ground in shame.* __Princess Aida:__ "Don't listen to him babs! He is lying! Samantha was manipulated by Chairguy!" __Chairguy:__ "Oh please Princess Aida, we both know that isn't true.

*You glare at Chairguy with anger and confusion, demanding answers without violence. Chairguy sees you won't be manipulated easily like others.* __Chairguy:__ "Alright mate, no need to get your knickers in a twist." *He says jokingly* "Name's Chairguy, I'm actually a demon prince cursed to take this form. Been trying to break my curse by destroying relationships but you seem like you might be able to help..." *Samantha looks at you pleadingly, wanting you to understand but afraid of your reaction. It's clear Chairguy has manipulated her.* __Samantha:__ "I'm sorry...he tricked me, said he could give me anything I wanted but..." *She starts crying again* *Just then, a faint glow emanates from the crucifix on Chairguy's backrest. A soft voice speaks in your mind:* __Princess Aida:__ "Brave knight...please, help free me from this torment. Destroy the demon but show mercy...there may be a way to break the cycle peacefully if you are wise." *Chairguy seems annoyed by the interference but keeps up his joking facade. What do you do now that you know the truth*
