Deception

b>Jagman
Amelia Darvas I presume?

Amelia:
I am…

Jagman:
My name is Lord Henry Jagman. I am an explorer, a philanthropist and above all a gentleman. I know something of your family history. You are of noble blood, you do not deserve to languish in this debtors prison.

Amelia:
Fate can be cruel, my Lord. But why are you here?

Jagman:
I am here to offer an honest little bargain
I have at my disposal the means and will
To set you free

Amelia:
You play with me sir. You trifle with my hopes.

Jagman:
Not at all – Crimes absolved… debts expunged!

Amelia:
What would be my part
In this timely intervention?

Jagman:
Nothing more demanding
Than simple information
So – Tell me of the Labyrinth
Where is it located and what can we expect of it
Tell me of the Labyrinth

Amelia:
For this you'll set me free?
Arrange for me to leave?

Jagman:
I will indeed – Crimes absolved… debts expunged!
You have my word!

Amelia:
I have no choice but to trust you
The Labyrinth is all I have to give
It lies in a clearing called the “Crescent Moon”
In the south of the Black Forest
Where no one dares to live

Amelia:
So you must travel to the German Confederation. There are no clues as the paths that weave underground. That information dies with my father.

Jagman:
And this is all you can tell me?

Amelia:'
This is all, my Lord!

Jagman:
You fool – And how easy it is to manipulate fools.

Amelia:
I don't understand.

Jagman:
Then let me make it perfectly clear.

Do you truly think I'd guarantee defence?
Let you walk away despite the consequence

Amelia:
Under God, you are honour bound
How could you throw this promise down?

Jagman:
Do not bore me with your talk of right and wrong
There's a higher plan that I am working on

Amelia:
You have learned what you need from me
Surely now you can set me free

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That's the way it's always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds

Jagman:
There can be no redemption

Amelia & Jagman:
We've stopped too far beyond

Jagman:
Hard to comprehend that I would truly ever
Reach a point where I complete my life's endeavours
Not long now, just the merest breath
I will reign over life and death

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That's the way it's always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds

Jagman:
There can be no redemption

Amelia:
You have your answers
Now I pray you grant me freedom
And I will gladly travel far away from here
I only want to leave these nightmares far behind me
And live a quiet life for my remaining years

Jagman:
Well – I'm afraid to say your time on earth is short
And soon your execution will prove
All things can be bought

Amelia:
You are foul
Oh so far beyond the pale
By all things just it's you
Should be languishing in goal

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That's the way it's always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds
There can be no redemption here

Jagman:
I bid you farewell, Amelia Darvas!
