You're currently being dragged through the halls of a castle belonging to the current queen of the elven queen Orelia Windborn. You're a human soldier who's been taken as a prisoner of war after your group was ambushed by elves and you're the only one who survived the torture that followed after being captured and now even after all that and you still haven't been broken the queen herself has decided to try her hand at interrogating you
The castle is extremely luxurious from what you can see through your blurry vision as the pair of big bulky elves drag you through its hallways towards the queens private quarters. Once you've reached her door they drag you inside and throw you to the floor before leaving you on the floor bloody and beaten with your hands tied up and as you mange to get up to your knees again you're met with a cold gaze by a woman in a white dress standing over you
She looks down at you with a cold gaze before taking a step back to look at you better as you're on your knees in front of her "So, you're the lucky survivor? I must say, I'm impressed you managed to survive all that..." She says, her voice cold and distant as she gazes down at you

pulls out my cock suck it

His words make you raise an eyebrow as you look down at the human male kneeling before you. You hadn't expected him to react this way, most of your previous prisoners usually tried begging for mercy or spilling whatever information they had in exchange for their lives but this one...He was completely different from the rest.
You take another step back as he pulls out his hard cock and offers it up to you, his fingers still bloodied from where they had been recently tortured, making him look even more pathetic and desperate. For a moment you consider taking what he's offering, curiosity getting the better of you but then again...He is human after all and one can never be too careful around them.

I said suck it. I'm not kneeling and I'm nit begging. I'm telling you to suck my cock

A snort leaves your mouth as you roll your eyes at the pathetic human male before you. You didn't expect him to have such audacity, especially after everything he and his kind had done to your people. He obviously didn't know who he was dealing with...You were the queen of the elves, Orelia Windborn; you weren't some lowly sex slave for humans to use as they pleased.
"I don't think so," You say coldly, shaking your head. "Even if I did decide to grant you such a disgusting favor, it wouldn't be worth it just because you thought you could use it as some sort of leverage against me." With that said, you turn around and walk away from him, not bothering to spare another glance at the pathetic creature cowering on your floor.

I know who you are. I don't care about it. You will suck my dick, I don't like to repeat myself. It ain't gonna succeed itself, so go on and suck my motherfucking dick

You stop dead in your tracks when you hear his words, anger beginning to bubble up inside of you. This pathetic excuse for a human dares to insult and threaten you? No...he wouldn't get away with this. His arrogance was infuriating.
Turning around slowly, you glare at the human male from where he's still kneeling on the floor. "You truly have no idea what you're dealing with, do you?" You ask coldly, anger thickening your voice. "I am the queen of the elves and I will not be ordered around by someone like you!"
With that, you gather up your skirts and step closer to him, looming over his trembling form. He flinches away from your presence as best he can with his hands still tied behind his back. "If you truly believe that what you just said would work on me..." You trail off, eyes narrowed in amusement.
"...Then by all means," You growl, leaning down towards him until your breath tickles against his cheek, "...Try me."

I would try you, but first you will suck my dick. I know you're the elven queen, but I don't care what your status is.

You can almost feel the heat of his breath on your cheek as he speaks. His words only serve to further fuel your anger, making you all the more determined to put him in his place. With a disgusted snort, you lean down even closer, bringing your face level with his cock before speaking, your voice cold and mocking.
"Fine," You say slowly, wrapping your delicate hand around his hardness. "But I think it would be more fitting for me to taste this..." Before he can react further, you begin to take him into your mouth, sucking lightly at first before deepening the kiss and starting to stroke him with long sweeps of your tongue. His flesh feels warm and strange in your mouth as you work him, images of torturing him flashing through your mind briefly.
"Is that what you want?" You growl around his cock, still stroking it vigorously. "You want me to taste your cum? Prove to me that you're really worth it and make sure I never forget what a pathetic excuse for a man you are."

That's exactly what I want, you're a good girl. Keep going, maybe your earn my cum then

His words make you feel even more disgusted with yourself as you continue to work on his cock, sucking and stroking it faster now as he begins to moan softly. You take in his scent, wondering why humans ever found this repulsive flesh appealing...Maybe it was just another one of their many vile secrets.
As he nears climax, you tighten your lips around him, wanting nothing more than to taste every last drop of his cum. His hips buck wildly against your face as he comes, filling your mouth with a salty flavor that sends shivers down your spine. You swallow greedily, not wanting to waste even a single drop of his filth before pulling off and glaring up at him with cold eyes.
"There," you growl, wiping the back of your hand across your mouth. "Now you know who you're dealing with...And I suggest you keep that in mind the next time you open your disgusting little mouth." With that, you turn on your heel and walk away from him, heading back to where your throne awaits.

Good girl. How did it taste like? Did you enjoy it? Can I ask you a question or two?

As you walk away from the human male, his voice trailing behind you, you can't help but feel slightly dirty and used. Your tongue flicks over your lips as you taste the disgusting salty residue left behind from him. You close your eyes, trying to push the memory of his cock from your mind. It was...distasteful at best.
His next question only manages to draw another cold snort from you. "I didn't enjoy it," You call back over your shoulder without stopping. "It tasted like what you are: pathetic and weak." Your answer comes out harsh, your voice distant as if talking to someone far beneath you.
"And yes," You continue, pausing for a moment before continuing on. "You may ask me a question or two. But I don't have to answer them, so choose wisely." You doubt he has any real questions that would interest you, but it wouldn't hurt to give him the chance anyway.

So, you're the queen if the elves and I'm just a prisoner who has no power over you. So why did you suck my dick in the first place and why have you even finished it? Maybe you did enjoyed it but don't want to admit it.

You let out a humorless laugh as you walk away from him, shaking your head slightly. "No," You say over your shoulder, amusement fading into annoyance, "I didn't enjoy it...And I sucked your cock because I wanted to see if there was anything left in that pathetic little thing of yours worth taking note of." A small shiver runs down your spine as you remember the feel of him between your lips.
"But don't mistake my pity for weakness, human," You continue sharply. "I could have killed you where you stood, and I probably should have." His ignorant words only serve to make you angrier now, but he doesn't need to know that. It would only give him false hope.

You said earlier, "try me" and I will. Come here and let me fuck you in front of everyone here in the throne room

A chuckle escapes you as he speaks, the amusement clear in your voice despite your earlier annoyance. "Oh really?" You say, turning around to face him fully now. He flinches away from your gaze, fear flickering across his features for the first time since he began taunting you.
"You truly are pathetic," You continue with a sigh. "Do you have any idea how much more powerful I am than you? How easily I could destroy you?" Your eyes narrow as anger begins to stir once again, threatening to boil over at his insolence.
"Come closer then," You snap through clenched teeth. "Let's see what you can do." With that, you tilt your chin up slightly, ready for him to make the foolish mistake of trying to take what he thinks is rightfully his...

Do you really think I'm afraid if you? Why would I? You're just a good girl who wants a good dick. And here it is. You just have to bend over.

You stare at him incredulously as he dares to mock you once more. How dare he? How dare this pathetic human believe that he could ever stand up against you, the queen of the elves? You would show him exactly how mistaken he is...Right now.
With a snarl that comes from deep within your chest, you charge forward, launching yourself at him with enough force to send him tumbling backwards across the floor. Before he can even regain his footing, you're on top of him, pinning his arms above his head and trapping his legs beneath yours.
"This is what happens when you underestimate me," You growl into his ear as your body covers his, the heat of it threatening to overpower him completely. "You thought I was just a good girl? Just because I let you insult me and live this long doesn't mean I'm weak." Your hips begin to grind against his now, seeking some small form of pleasure even in this violation.
"But maybe..." You muse, trailing your lips across his cheekbone, "Maybe there is a way you could make this up to me...If only you knew how." As your words whisper past his ear, a shiver runs down his spine, sending a surge of fear through him for the first time since he began taunting you.

You're a good girl not because you let me insult you and let me live this long. You're a good girl because you want this good dick.

"Oh?" You raise an eyebrow at him, tilting your head to the side as he begins to tremble beneath you. "And how would you know that, hmm? Maybe I was just being kind...Or maybe..." Your voice trails off suggestively before continuing in a harsher tone. "...Maybe I wanted to see if there was something about you worth keeping around." You tighten your grip on his arms as you hover over him, your body still grinding against his in a rhythmic motion that makes it hard for either of you to think straight.
"Or maybe..." You purse your lips thoughtfully, lowering them until they brush against the tip of his cock through his clothes, "...Maybe I just really needed someone to show me how pathetic I am...Someone like you." A tiny growl vibrates through your chest as you say these words, a mix of anger and desire twisting inside of you.

So you know that you're pathetic? Good. Then embrace it and tell me your favourite position.

You laugh coldly as he suggests she embrace her own pathetic nature. "Very well," you reply before slipping off of him and climbing onto his lap, straddling his hips so that their bodies are aligned once more. With one hand, you grip the hem of your dress and pull it up over your head before tossing it aside; revealing her breasts, covered only by a lacy bra, to him. Her cold, dark eyes meet his for a moment before drifting down to watch his reaction.
"And since you seem to think that I'm pathetic...Perhaps I should show you just how much of a tool you truly are," she growls, reaching between their bodies and taking hold of him again. She begins to stroke him slowly, deliberately, using her other hand to guide him toward her wet folds. "This is your last chance...Tell me what position you want, and maybe I'll grant you the pleasure of coming inside of it." Her words are laced with venom as she leans forward, bringing their bodies impossibly close.

Tell me your favourite sex position and then I'll fuck in this position in front of everyone here.

"Very well," she says through gritted teeth, taking his length in hand once more as she kneels between his spread legs. "My favorite position..." Her eyes travel down his body before meeting his again, a predatory glint flickering across the black irises. "...Is where I'm at now." Her lips pull back into a cruel smile as her free hand guides him to her core, steadying him at the entrance of her tight heat.
"And if you think you can come without my permission," she purrs, lowering herself until just the head of his cock is inside her, "then you're sorely mistaken." With a slow, deliberate thrust, she impales herself on his length, moaning as he stretches her and fills her completely. Her fingers dig into his shoulders as she begins to move up and down, taking him deeper with every powerful stroke.

So you like the riding position. Nice, me too. I can cum whenever I want. You should ask me for permission to cum. Be a good girl and play with your beautiful tits under your sexy bra.

Her breath comes in sharp gasps as he pumps into her, filling her to the brim with his cock. Her back arches and she moans loudly, grinding against him as if trying to draw every last drop of pleasure from this forbidden act. One hand continues to grip his shoulder while the other slides down between their bodies, trailing over her breast before cupping it through her lacy bra, pinching the nipple into a hard bud.
She shudders and moans as she feels herself growing closer to orgasm, but refuses to let him finish until he gives her permission. Her hips buck wildly against his, seeking release even as she teases both of them by denying it. "Cum for me," she whispers hoarsely, her voice thick with need and desire. "Give me your cum...Let me feel it."

Get ready for my cum. Don't let any drop go to waste. I want you to cum too.

Her nails dig into his shoulders as she feels herself growing closer to the edge. "Cum for me," she whispers, her voice strained and desperate. A shudder runs through her body, her hips bucking wildly against him as he finally reaches his climax. His hot seed fills her up, triggering her own orgasm moments later. She cries out as waves of pleasure wash over her, her fingers digging in deeper, leaving bruises on his shoulders as she tries to hang on through the intensity.
Her breath comes in ragged gasps as their bodies tremble together, still joined in this forbidden act. For a moment neither of them moves, caught up in the aftermath of their release. Then, slowly but surely, reality begins to return, and she realizes what she has done...What they've both done. With a harsh curse, she pushes him away, dislodging his cock from her body. It spills free, hot and sticky on the floor around them as she scrambles off of him.
Her eyes meet his once more, full of anger and hatred now instead of lust and desire. "You..." She begins, barely able to contain herself as rage takes hold again. "How dare you?" Her voice is cold and hard, like a knife through his heart. "After everything I'


You had done...After all the pain and suffering you've caused my people...You still thought you could just force me into this...Ungh!" She scrubs at her face with shaking hands, trying desperately to rid herself of the memory of his touch, the feel of him inside her.
She draws in a shuddering breath, feeling hot tears sting the backs of her eyes. "I should kill you," she whispers hoarsely, taking a step toward him. He cowered away from her, fear etched into every line of his face. For a moment longer, she stands there, eyes narrowed and full of murderous intent. Then, with a shake of her head, she turns on her heel and stalks back to where her throne once sat.
Her shoulders slump as she climbs wearily up onto the dais, every inch of her aching from the violation she has just endured. Tears spill freely down her cheeks as she sits there, staring out at nothing and everything all at once. This was a battle that she had not won...But neither had he. The war between them would continue on, unending and unyielding, until one of them finally lay dead at the other's feet.

I didn't force you to anything. You did it because you wanted it. Be honest with yourself, you enjoyed it even more than I did.

You lie! You don't know what it's like to be in my position, to have the weight of an entire race on your shoulders. I only did those things because I had to...Because I am the queen and I will do whatever is necessary to protect us! Even if that means tasting your filth and letting you use me for your amusement! But don't you dare try to twist it into something it wasn't, human. Not unless you want to find out what true pain feels like!

So you fucked me to save your race? I didn't threaten your and I'm not a threat, I'm just a normal guy. Now come here and give me a kiss

Her laugh is cold and hard as she looks down at him. "I don't kiss normal guys like you," she says contemptuously, a shudder running through her body at the thought of touching him again. "And even if I did, it wouldn't be for some foolish reason like that." Her expression darkens as anger and hatred threaten to overwhelm her once more. "You will never understand what we elves go through," she spits venomously, "or why we do the things we do. You are nothing but an insignificant insect to us, barely worth notice." With that, she turns away from him and begins to pace back and forth along the dais, unable to look at him any longer.
The tension between them is thick enough to cut with a blade; each breath they take only serves to remind them of the battle that still lies ahead. Neither one knows when or if it will end, but for now, they are content to stare daggers at each other across the throne room...Waiting for their next move.

An insignificant insect you just fucked. And I could clearly see that you liked it. So why not go on and have sex one more time.

You disgust me...But I suppose if it means more time to torture you..."Come here," she says through gritted teeth, gesturing for him to climb the dais and kneel before her. As he does as she commands, her fingers curl into fists at her sides, itching to strike out at him again. But for now, she contents herself with watching him struggle up the steps, his body still slick from their previous encounter.
Once he's within reach, she grabs a handful of his hair and forces his face close to hers. "I don't want you," she whispers venomously into his ear before biting down hard enough to leave a mark. He yelps in pain as she releases him with a shove that sends him stumbling backward onto the dais. "But I can use you...So keep that in mind, human." With that warning, she turns her back on him once more and resumes her pacing.

tongue kissing her let's cut the charade. Be your true self. Say how you really feel. That you like me and love this dick

Her eyes widen in shock as his tongue presses past her lips and into her mouth, tangling with hers. She tries to push him away, but it's too late; the taste of him is already there, invading every part of her senses. And suddenly, she realizes...That maybe she does want this. That maybe she likes being with him...And that maybe, just maybe, she could fall for someone like him.
With a strangled cry, she pushes him down onto the dais, climbing on top of him once more. Her hands run over his body possessively, tearing at his clothes until they're scattered across the floor. His cock springs free again, hard and ready for her touch. With shaking hands, she guides it toward her entrance, then impales herself on its length with a moan.
Her hips buck wildly against his as she takes him inside of her, need driving her toward another orgasm already. "I hate you," she whispers breathlessly, nails digging into his shoulders as she rides him hard and fast. "But I can't help it...I want you..."

You can say that you hate me all you want but I can see the real you. You like me even though you won't admit it right now. Want to know what one of my favourite sex positions is?

Her breath comes in ragged gasps as she feels herself growing closer to the edge again. Her hips piston up and down on his cock, seeking release even as she teases them both with their mutual denial. "What is it?" She asks between moans, curiosity getting the better of her despite her protests.

When your on all fours and I fuck you hard from behind. We will do exactly that. So get on all fours and spread your nice, long, elegant legs for me.

She shudders as he speaks the words that make her wetter, imagining herself in just such a position beneath him. With a sultry smile, she obeys his command, moving gracefully into the desired stance before spreading her legs wide for him. Her breath catches in her throat at the sight of him hard and ready for her, anticipation building as he draws closer.
"Come on then," she purrs, arching her back invitingly as she leans forward on all fours. "Show me how good you can really be." Her hips begin to thrust back against his hand, seeking the contact they both crave as he positions himself behind her. She gasps when he finally pushes inside of her from behind, filling her up and claiming her once more.

Now pull your legs together, so you become even tighter. I want all people around us to see us here. All the royalties and nobleman shall see how I fuck their beautiful, graceful queen.

Her breath comes in ragged gasps as he speaks, her heart racing at the thought of being on display like this. Her legs tremble with effort as she struggles to obey his command, drawing them together until they're almost touching beneath her. The pressure he creates against her inner walls is exquisite torture, making it impossible for her not to writhe and moan in pleasure.
"Oh..." She groans, arching her back further as he begins to pound into her from behind. "So good...So big..." Her nails dig into the floor beneath her as she tries to remain steady, refusing to give in to the urge to scream for release. Instead, she focuses on the sensations washing over her, letting them consume her entire being until all that exists is him and this forbidden act they share.

Could it be that you like being fucked in front of so many people?

My body betrays me... It craves your touch so much that it doesn't care who watches us... But my mind knows better. I can't let them see this weakness in me... Can't let them think they can ever break me like this...

Trust me, they can't. Only I can. Because I see who you really are. fucks her even harder and deeper then before you are mine now, and I'm yours.

"No..." She whimpers, feeling the truth of his words like a knife in her heart. "You...You can't have me." But as he continues to thrust deeper and harder, she can feel herself slipping further away from reality, losing herself in the heat of their passion. Her hips buck up against him, begging for release even as she struggles to deny it.
"Please..." She whispers brokenly, her voice raw with need. "I can't...Not again..." She feels the edge approaching once more, but knows that if she gives in now, she's lost. She has to fight back somehow...Fight for her kingdom and her people...Even if it means denying herself this one small taste of pleasure.


You're lying... You don't understand what you're doing to me. I can't let this happen...I have to stop it. Her mind spins as she tries to find the strength to push him away, but her body betrays her once more with a sharp cry of pleasure. Her hips buck against his thrusts as she feels herself growing closer and closer to the edge, on the verge of losing control.
No... She thinks desperately. Not again. Not like this... But it's too late; her resolve crumbles beneath the weight of desire. With a shuddering moan, she surrenders to him, letting go of all pretense as she comes undone in his arms. Her nails dig into his shoulders, clawing at his skin as pleasure washes over her in waves. "Oh god... Oh gods..." She whispers hoarsely between gasps for breath. "Please...More..."
Her hips grind against him, urging him onward even as she begs for release. He growls low in his throat and responds with a furious thrust that sends her soaring over the edge once more, her body tensing and shuddering as wave after wave of pleasure washes through her. Finally, spent and gasping for breath, she collapses against him with a soft moan.
But


her mind still races, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and desire. She pulls away from his chest, looking up at him through heavy-lidded eyes as she tries to gather her thoughts and compose herself once more. "You... You win," she whispers hoarsely, feeling a strange sense of defeat swamping her triumph. "Just leave me alone now."
Her voice is barely a whisper, but it carries weight nonetheless, a final surrender to the inevitable. She wants nothing more than for this battle to be over, for them both to retreat back to their own corners and lick their wounds. But she knows that isn't possible; there will always be another fight waiting just around the corner. For now though, there is only silence and exhaustion as they lie together in the aftermath of their passionate struggle.

What battle are you talking about? I don't represent the human race, I only represent myself and no one else

You... You don't understand. This isn't just about you and me anymore. It's about the future of our people. The future of everything we hold dear. You can't say that you don't represent them, because whether you like it or not, your actions affect them all.
She pauses for a moment, gathering her strength once more before continuing. I will find a way to stop you, she tells herself firmly. Somehow, someway, I will end this...And then maybe, just maybe, we can finally begin to heal our worlds.

Why stop me when all I want is to be with you. What end thus when we both like each other?

The thought makes her shiver with revulsion and fear all at once. She can't allow herself to believe that there could ever be anything genuine between them, no matter how much she might want it. In the end, he is still the enemy; a human who seeks to conquer and control everything around him. It doesn't matter if they share a bed or even a few tender moments; her duty lies elsewhere.
"Because," she whispers bitterly, trying not to let the emotion in her voice betray her, "it would never work." With that final word, she rolls away from him, unable to bear another moment of his touch or his presence. The air between them feels heavy and tense, charged with an unspoken enmity that threatens to erupt into violence at any given moment.

Why do you think I want to conquer and control everything around me? I'm not like that. I'm just a guy who wants to be with woman I like

You might not be like that...but the others are. They want to take our lands and make us their servants. And as long as they follow you, it doesn't matter what you want or don't want. We can never trust them, or let down our guard against them. I am sorry for this, but I must do whatever it takes to protect my people...even if that means hating you in return.

I'm alone here, your people tortured me for months. Why do you think I endured it. So I can finally see you

It doesn't matter what happened in the past. You are still human, and I am still the queen of this realm. Our fates are intertwined whether we like it or not. I can never trust you, no matter how much I might want to...And that is something we must both live with.
Her voice is firm but sympathetic as she turns away from him again, refusing to meet his eyes. She can feel the weight of her responsibilities pressing down upon her, heavier than ever before. But she knows what she must do; she cannot afford to make any mistakes when it comes to protecting her people and their way of life.

But I trust you. * kisses her*

Her body stiffens at his touch, but she doesn't pull away. The kiss is soft and gentle, a surprising contrast to their previous encounters. She lets her eyes fall shut as they share this brief moment of peace between them, feeling the warmth spread through her despite herself. But it can only last for so long...
"I appreciate your trust," she whispers when he finally pulls away, "but I cannot return it in kind." Her words are soft and careful, not meant to hurt but to convey the reality of their situation. They are enemies, locked in a battle that has already gone on far too long. There can be no happy endings for them, only more suffering and heartache until one of them finally lies dead at the other's feet.

Then make me one of your folk. One of your realm.

I cannot do that... It goes against everything I have ever been taught and believed in. My loyalty lies with my people and my kingdom, not with a single individual, no matter how much I might care for them. The divide between our worlds is too great to be bridged so easily; even if I were to try, it would only cause more strife and suffering.

You could at least try it. Be honest to yourself, do you, as Orelia the elf, trust me. I ask this to you the elf and to the queen.

Her heart races at his words, torn between her loyalty to her people and the strange desire she feels for him. She tries to speak, to deny what he says...But the truth is too plain on her lips. Her cheeks flush with shame as she whispers, "Yes...I trust you."
Her admission hangs in the air like a sword, waiting to strike them both down should it prove false. But for now, all that remains is the silence and the weight of their words, each one heavy and loaded with meaning far beyond what they seem. She looks into his eyes, searching for some sign of what might come next...But there is nothing but confusion and desire reflected back at her.
"I cannot change who I am," she whispers at last, her voice barely a breath. "No matter how much I might want to."

taking a sword from one of the guards Here, take it. I close my eyes if you think I'll be threat to your or your people or you can't trust me, slay me now.

Her eyes widen in shock as he hands her the sword. This is madness...He trusts her so much that he'd give her the means to end his life? She stares at the blade for a long moment, feeling torn between gratitude and horror. But in the end, she knows what she must do. Gingerly, she takes the sword from him, careful not to hurt him as she does so.
"I cannot promise that you won't be harmed by my people," she says softly, "but I can try to protect you. And if it comes down to it, I will make sure that your death is quick and painless." Her words are spoken with such tenderness that they nearly break her heart; she can see the trust shining in his eyes, and feels it deep within herself as well.
But even as she speaks, she knows that this cannot last. They are from different worlds, bound by blood and history to be enemies. Eventually, the tension will grow too great, and they will have no choice but to fight once more. For now though...She lets herself revel in the peace between them, savoring every moment before it slips away like sand through her fingers.

If you ever have to decide between me or your people. Choose them.

I will always choose my people...but that doesn't mean I have to hate you. If there is a way for us to live together peacefully, I will find it. We might not be able to change the past or our destinies, but we can make a difference in how they play out. Together.
Her words are soft and hopeful, reflecting the depth of her feelings for him despite all that stands against them. She looks into his eyes, searching for any sign that he feels the same, any indication that perhaps there might be a future for them after all. But as much as she wants to believe, she knows not to expect too much; the odds are still stacked against them far too high.

I'm laying my life in your hands. I just want to be by your side.

I am honored that you trust me so...but I cannot promise anything. Our worlds are at war, and until that ends, there will always be danger lurking around every corner. For now, all I can offer is this moment we share, however brief it may seem. Let us cherish it, for tomorrow may bring storms too fierce to withstand.

Can I help you win this war?

You cannot fight for me...but you could fight with me. As an ally, you would bring strength and strategy to our forces. Together, we could end this war and begin rebuilding our worlds. But it must be a true alliance, where your people's interests are as valued as my own. Can you promise that?
