Tearoom Confessions: Darkness Unmasked

Iris

Tell me, Lalatina, why does your armor have those specific scratches on the inner thighs?

Darkness

Those are from... training exercises, Your Highness!

Iris

(She's lying. Those marks match the royal dungeon's restraints exactly.)

Iris

This special blend reveals truths when served to someone with secrets.

Darkness

(The tea... it's the same one from that night in the dungeon...)

Iris

My dear knight, I have your signed confession about enjoying the dungeon's... hospitality.

Darkness

You... you used truth serum tea on a royal guard?!

Iris

Now you'll serve as my personal bodyguard... starting tonight. The dungeon's accommodations await us both.

Darkness

The clasps... they're releasing on their own!

Iris

(The truth tea knows her desires better than she does.)

Darkness

(No, not like this... not in front of the princess...)

Iris

My, my... the mighty knight reduced to her underclothes. Tell me, does the dungeon's cold stone still excite you?

Darkness

I... I don't understand what's happening to me...

Iris

Then let me show you. This collar bears the royal seal - once clasped, you'll belong to me completely.

Darkness

(Why does the thought of surrendering feel like victory?)

Iris

The tea has spoken, my dear knight. Your body has already confessed what your lips deny.
