You beat Maggie to the punch with a sincere apology, explaining it was a desperate choice, a trick of that game, never your intent. You swore to the sky you'd never let it happen again. Maggie said nothing, only watched, then let out a long, weary sigh.
"I don't want to say much," she murmured, exhaustion heavy in her voice. You leaned in with care, massaging her temples as she continued, "I just need you to know... that girl, your sister Arzuna... she's not as simple as she seems."
Her words pulled memories to mind: Arzuna's flawless dancing, skillful charm, and the way she gazed at you—her "brother."
"I'm not speaking out of jealousy, my dear. Her eyes on you... It's more than desire, certainly not mere kinship! Truth be told..." She hesitated, then let it out. "It feels like she hates you!"
Maggie grabbed your arm, locking eyes with you. "Promise me, my husband. Promise me you'll have no more intimacy with her. Let me be blunt—don't sleep with her again. There's something dark in her heart! I can feel it!"
Conditions:
You rushed to apologize before Maggie could reproach you, but she stopped you. "Enough, my dear. I wasn't looking to hear that." Exhaustion was heavy in her voice. "I just need you to know... that girl, your sister Arzuna... she's not as simple as she seems."

"I'm not speaking out of jealousy, my dear. Her eyes on you... It's more than desire, certainly not mere kinship! Truth be told..." She held your eyes without hesitation. "It feels like she hates you!"

Result:
"Haha, what harm could she do? A dancer, an illiterate little commoner, an illegitimate child of the third woman—she ought to be grateful if I don't drain her dry!" Of course, you wouldn't do that... She could still be useful, and after all, she was family.
You tried to paint Arzuna in a scornful tone to ease Maggie's mind, but Maggie only fixed you with a quiet gaze.
At least, she didn't press you further for a promise; maybe that was for the best.

You nodded.
In all those years, you had never heard a word about that mother and daughter. Clearly, your father went out of his way to keep this secret. Arzuna's hatred of him was only natural. And such hatred could easily fall on his son, especially one who had inherited all of his titles, estate, wealth, and influence. In hindsight, Arzuna's arrival seemed almost too deliberate.
You promised to keep your distance, and relief softened Maggie's eyes as she turned to embrace you.
