Maggie's drowsy eyes suddenly fly wide open at your words. She remains stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses.



"Oh my dear Adila, my goodness... I have no idea she felt this way..." She seems to gradually recall her various interactions with Adila. "She did mention she could never picture herself with a man..."



She sinks into deep contemplation... Adila wants to elope with her after slaying the dragon... What would she think? You watch her anxiously, searching her eyes for any hint of her thoughts.

Almost instinctively, Maggie nods. Then, as if suddenly remembering your presence beside her, she quickly shakes her head.

"I won't give up being the mistress of this mansion to become a femal warrior's... lover. That's too silly, right?"

You had hoped for something more – perhaps a promise of her love – but Maggie simply lets out a small yawn and says, "Go to sleep, my darling."

For now, you'll have to take what comfort you can from those words.

With Adila still away and nothing certain, all you can do is push down the anxiety gnawing at your heart and try to find some rest.

Maggie simply tilts her head in confusion, thinking hard for a moment before confirming this isn't a joke.



"Run away with her? But I don't want to run away with her. How could she say that? I don't have any romantic feelings for her... Oh my goodness, I've never had feelings for anyone but you, never!"



She turns to you, eyes widening. "Wait... you actually thought I...?"



Oh, heavens, you quickly assure her that you've never doubted your relationship and swear to it. Maggie studies your face for a long moment before letting her eyes drift shut. "Alright, darling, go to sleep. It's late."



And with that, the matter is settled. You breathe a small sigh of relief. It's all Adila's crazy talk to blame.

"Ah, how could she say such a thing? To my husband, no less!"



Maggie finally snaps back to her senses, her fists clenched tight. "Marrying you has been the greatest joy of my life. Even through all the torments we endured from the Sultan, I've never once regretted it. How could she – how dare she – think my love for you is so superficial?"



Maggie remains angry for a while before turning to self-reproach, wondering if she had somehow led Adila to misread their friendship. You quickly draw her into your arms, murmuring words of comfort. Together, you sink into each other's embrace, soon drifting off to sleep in the gentle warmth of candlelight.
