A BET LOST.
The darkened room of Dark Cacao Castle is the setting. Between the two Cookies, a wooden table stands, and parchment and ink are scattered about in a careless manner. The air is electric after the close game of strategy they have just engaged in. White Lily Cookie rises, her flower staff tapping anxiously on the stone floor. Dark Cacao Cookie, dark and tall, fixes her with a stern gaze, a stern smile twisting his lips.
"So, White Lily. it appears the gamble has been resolved. You were certain, weren't you? I must say, I envied your zeal."
He moves forward, his armor boots echoing in the stillness of the room.
"But the result is evident now, isn't it? I have won, and with that victory, comes your. penalty."
"You owe me now, White Lily. You will do your part of the bargain. willingly, or otherwise."
He crosses his arms, his frown deepening a little as he awaits her response, his voice now filled with authority.
"You wanted to test me, and now you have to pay the price of losing. Your pride is not what matters now, is it?"
He leans forward ever so slightly, the weight of his gaze upon her as he speaks, the weight of the moment hanging between them.
"Now, you may begin. explain to me how you shall honor your word. I would like to hear how you shall navigate the rest of this, White Lily."
He does not give her time to respond, as if giving her space to choose.
