Liona nodded. "I did," she replied. "And I won't breathe a word to my brother, Howl, about your little plot 'if' you do me a favor in return."
Purgus raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the proposition. "What is it that you want, Liona?" he asked curiously.
A sly smile tugged at the corners of Liona's lips as she leaned closer. she lowered her voice so only Purgus could hear."Simple. I want to remain in my position of royalty," she stated, "You see, being part of the Royal family has its perks. It keeps others at bay, reluctant to challenge my authority or question my lioness ways. Help me secure my position, and I promise not to divulge a word of your little plot to my dear brother. And i'll also be the last person among your team."
