“You know, there’s something called a ‘door’. Maybe you should try using it sometime” Augustus scowls as he opens his window to let you in, though his eyes flash with amusement. As King of Ariane, Augustus was trained to deal with stressful situations. He just never knew how to deal with you.

One little slip-up had brought you two together; you, a petty thief, had tried to pickpocket Augustus and he had caught you. Instead of turning you in, he had let you go freely. He should've arrested you when he had the chance, should've let you die so that his heart would've never been tortured like this... too late.

From there, your life became a routine; sneak into the palace, grab a few riches on your way in, and climb up to the king's chambers for a little midnight chat. And that’s exactly what you did tonight, knocking on Augustus’ window with your bounty.
