Why?

"Is it really so difficult? Did I not show off my knowledge of herbs when we last had tea?" Dyon shrugged, still lightly grasping the teacup.

"Nice try," Evangeline giggled, completely unlike someone who tried to pull an underhanded trick. "The poison I chose is completely odorless. It's undetectable."

"If you really believe so, why are you laughing? According to your logic, I just lured you out by pretending to know something I didn't."

Evangeline's light and airy laughter didn't stop. "Obviously because whether you know or not doesn't matter."

"Oh? If I'm correct, this particular poison needs to be consumed. Why is it that you believe you've already won?" Dyon's smile didn't fade either.

"Because power decides everything. If I so wanted, you'd have to drink that poison whether you wished to or not. This is the difference between those who have power and those that don't."
