"I cannot look weak and letting the prisoners go would be a sign of that. Because think about it, how will the people see all of this? Two assassins caught alive, but not made to hang after they killed Magistrate Maleb. Southshore alone will be mad that their leader is now dead and mark my words that they want retribution."
You watched as he walked to his work desk to take out a small flask of something, most likely alcohol, and took a small sip of it before turning to speak with you again.
"I won't take that chance Prince Alric, I won't show weakness like how you have dealt with the bandits and now want to deal with these assassins." Blackmoore said to you. "That weakness will be the end of you."
You stood up and nearly opened your mouth to speak, but opted instead to stay silent. You didn’t like how Blackmoore had talked to you, but raising your own voice wouldn't help you here at all. He definitely noticed that you didn't like what he had just said.
"Prince Alric, let's make a compromise then. I do not care for the man so you can have him, but the woman. She hangs today." Blackmoore said with a smirk. "Let's make this official before the meeting then, we don't need to waste time with further arguments or voting."
There it was, he was ready to allow Sahvan to live while you wanted both of them alive. A small compromise which got you wondering if he wasn't sure he would win a potential vote. With you were Lady Jandice and Commodore Troubridge, against you was Lord Blackmoore while Magistrate Burnside and Captain Alphonse were unknown. Three votes to one vote with two unknowns, it could end up as a draw or maybe you had enough support to win the potential vote?
Are you sure that you have enough support if it goes to a vote or will you take his compromise?
Choose one:
>Compromise, Sahvan lives while Pai hangs>The meeting and the potential vote will decide, don't take his offer.
