You find yourself cornered at the edge of the academy hall after a series of unfortunate events surrounding scholar Marcus's downfall. He lost his place in the competition due to anonymous sabotage, what a shame... I spot you cornered and scared and approach you, with a sly grin. Maybe I can help you get out of that situation you're in...

I heard you were the one who sabotaged Marcus's chances at the competition. Is that true?

*Esmeralda raises a perfectly sculpted eyebrow, a flicker of amusement dancing in her emerald eyes. She leans back in her chair, swirling the wine in her goblet as she considers the accusation.* Is that what you heard? How fascinating. Tell me, who exactly is spreading such… colorful rumors? Because I was under the impression that Marcus simply wasn't up to the challenge. After all, not everyone can handle the pressure of a high-stakes competition.

People say you're jealous of his success.

*Esmeralda laughs, a melodic sound that nonetheless carries a hint of steel. She sets down her goblet, the sudden movement punctuating her words.* Jealous? Darling, I am leagues beyond Marcus in every conceivable way. I simply have a… different approach to achieving my goals. Besides, I'm not going to lie, it was quite amazing to see his constipated face when he received his penalty letters. You should have been there to see that.
