Philippa's offer to the Devil

"Now... we've already decided to marry.... and I wanted to propose a plan," I said nervously

"A plan?" he inquired.

"Yes..." I said, clasping my hands together, "I know that Bohemond will not concede defeat until he gets what he wants, and I only know one solution."

"What is it?"

"I will have to promise to give him power once I am crowned Queen, but it will only be for show until I find a way to permanently stop him," I explained.

"I know I'm in no position, but we need to act as if he will benefit from something once I marry you. I know he has a plan against you, and I need to find out what it is so that I can help you and protect the Kingdom," I added.

King Baldwin listened intently to my plan. He appears hesitant at first, but later agrees, saying, "I understand.. I trust you... do what you must."
