Marlene suggested that Broken grant her one request in exchange for the beast slot, though she didn't specify what that request would be.
"So... all I want is for you to grant me one request. But I'm not sure what it is yet, not now, maybe later."
"If you don't explain what the request is, how can I be sure I'll be able to fulfill it?" Broken asked.
"That's the nature of the trade," Marlene replied. "Even though I don't know what I'll want yet, I'm confident it won't be anything too difficult for you. So, please consider this offer."
She quickly added, "But don't worry, it won't involve switching sides, helping us seize the throne, or anything like that."
"Can't you just state it clearly, Marlene?" Broken pressed, still not entirely convinced.
"Can't," she responded firmly. "Because I don't know exactly what I'll want yet, or maybe that desire hasn't come to me yet."
