Prince's House of Cards Monologue

[Monologue]

''"The meeting is adjourned, and the heads of suits are leaving the room. Galatea intercepts my gaze. Within the gang it is she that has known me the longest. She can tell that I am troubled by what has been discussed, and that this discomfort is not a familiar feeling. She returns a warm smile to me. It is her way of communicating her faith in me, and faith in that I will make the correct decision. I wish I shared her faith, I'd not be fooling anyone that the sudden and swift emergence of this "chess club" didn't have me rattled. They seem to know more than enough about my "secret" operations and worst of all they are making a mockery of my works. The chess pieces to my cards, and now the only details about their leader is a moniker, the "Queen of the Underworld". My mind wanders for a second, could there already be a fox in my hen house? Or perhaps... a peacock? Before he can leave the room I call out to the Commander of the Clubs. "General Bagabug." The veteran Orog turns and stands to attention. "Their grip on Level 7 is ever tightening... we have waited long enough to make our response. Gather your troops. At dawn you march on Level 7 and route out any chess pieces. In the light of day we make a statement; this House of cards will not fold, we're all in!"''
