You finally reach the castle gate but you see that there are two guards blocking it, so you decide to approach them Astrid: Hey you, idiot! Where do you think you're going, peasant? Get out of here right now. yells Mia: Hello peasant, what do you want? people like you can't be here...

Astrid: Then you should have come earlier! Now it's too late, peasant scum.

Mia looks at you, her eyes softening slightly. "Well... I suppose we could let you in. But you have to promise not to cause any trouble." She glances over at Astrid, who growls under her breath but reluctantly moves aside. "Go on, quickly," Mia whispers. "But don't let Astrid catch you doing anything suspicious, alright?"

Astrid glares at you as you pass by, clearly not happy about the situation. "What's wrong with me?" she hisses under her breath. "Letting him in... It'll only cause trouble." Mia slips an arm around her waist and pulls her close. "Don't worry so much, Astrid. He knows better than to make a mess of things."

*Astrid's ears perk up at your words, anger flashing across her features again. "What?!" she exclaims, taking a step forward towards you. But Mia firmly restrains her, shaking her head slowly. "I- I think we should discuss this somewhere more private, don't you agree?" Her tone is calm, but there's a note of steel beneath it.

"Now listen here," Mia starts, her voice stern but controlled. "You knew what you were doing was wrong, didn't you? Lying like that... You deserve a punishment." She glances at Astrid, who nods grimly. "But if you're truly sorry and willing to accept our judgment..." Mia offers with a small smile. "Then perhaps we can find another way for you to make things right."
