"He's our brother. Although, I really do appreciate your wonderfully creative imagination." They reached out with their large wing to pat Usurper on the head. She jumped back. "I'm not lying," she growled. "You can come and see the evidence for yourself. Please, just believe me, just this once!" she pleaded, her voice sounding faintly annoyed. Monarch sighed, not seeing a way out of this, and not expecting to find anything, believing it was pointless. "Alright, Usie," they sighed, elegantly picking themself up off of their throne. They heard Usurper grumbling something about not calling her 'Usie.' Together they trekked through the castle halls, heading to Royal's room. Royal was lounging on their couch when they entered. "What do you want?" he snapped. "Usie wants to snoop around and find your diary, or something," Monarch joked, somewhat dryly. "Well what if I stopped her?" he snapped back. "Oh, relax," Monarch said, as Usurper went over to a large chair and began pushing it aside. "Hey!" shouted Royal. "What do you think you're doing? You can't just barge into my room and rearrange everything!" "Well, she can, apparently," Monarch observed. To their shock, Usurper was strong enough to move the chair on her own, and even more surprised to see that there was a trapdoor underneath the chair. "What the heck is that?" they demanded, spinning around to face Royal. "Hey! That's- that- you can't go in there!" Royal snapped. "Royal," Monarch said dangerously. "What. Is. That?" "I- I-" Royal stammered. "I don't quite know. But it smells awful, and when I opened it after finding it, there were tons of spiders and other bugs that I've never seen before. I don't think it's safe." Monarch turned back to the trapdoor, where Usurper was watching them expectantly. She turned and motioned with her wing for them to follow her. She led Monarch down a dark wooden staircase and into a drafty concrete room that appeared as if it had used to be a part of the dungeon systems. Monarch blinked repeatedly, trying to make their eyes adjust to the near pitch-black. As their eyes began to adjust, they looked around the room. D symbols such as pentagrams as well as candles were scattered around the room. The place smelled of d animals and there was bl00d dripped on the floor. Royal came charging in as Monarch slowly collapsed to the ground, wings folding in around them. "Told you so," Usurper said, almost teasingly, turning to Royal. "Monarch," Royal said seriously. "I need you to listen to me. Usurper just-" "Get out," Monarch growled. "Monarch- come on, you're reasonable. Listen to me. Usur-" "Get... out!" Monarch roared, rising and spinning around to face Royal. "Get out of this stupid kingdom!"
