But it is clear to me that the reason we are here is that outside of us who tried to find common ground, there was the King who chose not to act and got all of this started.” You said to them and continued. “And there was the Noble who chose to act, but was in such a hurry that the backlash hit her back. Even if she tried to do the right things.”
“So…” Shaw started, but you interrupted him.
“Everything I said yesterday about King Varian still stands, but so does stand the fact that Lady Katrana was warned about being too hesitant and in a rush and yet she acted.” You interrupted him. “I have nothing further to say. Those are the facts.”
“Thank you Prince Alric.” The Speaker replied to you. “We shall discuss what you have just told us, in private please.”
You stood up understanding their request and gave them a polite bow.
“Lady Prestor, you as well.” The Speaker said to her.
She stood up not saying a word to them, she hadn’t even glanced at you when you had spoken, even if you had given a lot to her, you had criticised her quite thoroughly. A clerk opened a door to you and Katrana followed right behind you. When the door closed shut, it was just you, her and two of your Royal Foot Guards in the hallway.
“Alric…” Katrana started.
“Prince Alric.” You immediately corrected her and turned to face her.
“Prince Alric, what you told them…” She started. “You didn’t save any words didn’t you. I did what I did and I did nothing wrong, just like you said.”
Has she learned anything? Maybe, maybe not. You weren't sure, but her tone. Was she unremorseful? The words of Nalice sprung to your mind, she won’t apologise to you unless you make her apologise to you. There needs to be a mountain to climb and only then she will change her mind. That is how she works.
“Alric…” She started again, but you raised your hand up and she stopped.
>She fumbled you hard, does she really think that we can return to what was before. It was a fun game, but after all this? Not worth it.>The mistake she did in not telling you her plans has broken the trust between you and her. It is a mighty mountain for her to climb if she was to regain your favour.>Katrana is free because of you, alternative would be that she would hang.>Yes, it was a great couple nights with Nalice. She got you, not her. Fumble with capital F.>All this put Malevus in danger, how can you forgive her for her actions? You were in jail, Malevus got attacked by thugs!>Other, write in.Location:
>Here in the hallway, public or not, that will put an emphasis on your words.>Somewhere in private, you are going to give her a modicum of respect.
