Write a dialogue scene that portrays a toxic relationship.

A King’s Lies Or Truths?

“What’s gotten into you, traveler? You seem a little emotional?” The king’s voice boomed across the land. “Is this tantrum about her? She will never love you! Can’t you see I’ve given you everything she couldn’t!”

The traveler continues his pursuit of the throne as the king starts to sob. “You had a whole world and friends to play with! I even gave you new toys! But that wasn’t good enough! I WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH! She lied to you. To me. TO ALL OF US! All you are, traveler, is a puppet! A doll! A toy she can discard when she’s bored with you!”

The traveler enters the throne room wielding his twin blades that were once a gift from the king to slay his ‘friends’. “I just want to go home!” With that, the traveler pierces one of his blades through the king’s heart, causing the kingdom to start crumbling. As the traveler sits there awaiting the end, he ponders if a king of lies had been telling the truth all along.
