Marlene smiled, though her expression remained cold. She continued, addressing Broken's cautious demeanor.
"Is it important to you that it be Princess Alora, or would anyone suffice as long as you can achieve what you want—power, money… women?" she asked, her voice gentle yet her eyes fixated on Broken with a calm but icy stare, creating a strange sensation for him.

Now that I've gotten to know her better, I'm even more confident that she is the most suitable person to be the new Queen of Dissidia, especially since she is the rightful heir."
"You seem to know quite a bit about her, huh?" Marlene remarked.
"No, not really… I've only had a few conversations with her, and I don't know her deeply, but I've given you my answer," he continued.
