I was livid and asked why she would decide something that big without telling me and she said that there was no need to ask me and get my validation on whether or not I was to fight. I argued that there was a dire need to, and she said in an annoyed tone that my attitude is the reason why her parents were dead, and I responded with, "without this 'attitude,' Nathaniel, Donatello, George, and I would all be dead and so would everyone when Zephyr and Paul attack."
I told her that they needed me to win and without me they didn't stand a chance, and someone asked how that was the case, and I told them that I have a secret weapon. They questioned me and I told them that sorcery was at play, but most of them scoffed in my face. It was the only reason we had to explain the sudden behavioral changes George and other guards at the castle faced.
One general sarcastically asked me how to win even with sorcery and I told him that a friend of mine told me the source of the spell that had been cast, Zephyr's ring. Even if we didn't take off the ring, we could win if Zephyr doesn't show up, but if he did, it wouldn't be a battle. It would be a quick, swift massacre. The general tried to call my plan bogus, but Elizabeth silenced him and reinstated that I was not to go.
I stormed out of the room and went to my chambers, enraged. The entire walk there, Arthur just tried to calm me down. I paced back and forth in my room venting to Arthur about how they treat me like a child and he just accepted all of it, until Elizabeth walked in, then he went silent. She yelled at me for raising my voice at a general and her, but I didn't want to hear it.
I called her selfish for making such an important decision on my behalf without even consulting me, and reminded her that they would without magic. She said that she can't "lose me too," and I told her that she'll die without me anyway. She told me that was a chance she was willing to take, and I stormed out of the room again, and Arthur followed close behind me, as usual.
