Kyle just looked at the Duchess of Twilight for a while, who just kept looking back.
She was definitely mentally there since there were some movements of life in her. She was also blinking occasionally.
But she just remained quiet.
"Okay, then," Kyle said after some seconds as he slowly moved back to the gate. "I will just take that as a yes. If you have any objections, feel free to tell me."
Kyle took hold of the gate and pulled.
"Take as much time as you need," the Duchess of Twilight suddenly said.
"Oh?" Kyle answered, looking back. "Thank you! If you want me to repay you for the favor, just ask."
"I want you to promise me something," she spoke from her throne.
Kyle blinked a couple of times.
'That was quick.'
"Yeah, sure, what do you need?" Kyle asked, letting go of the handle of the gate.
"I want you to take my spot," she said with an ethereal voice.
"Your spot?" Kyle asked. "You mean as… the leader of the Twilight Duchy?"
