Izlandi found it hard to be pitied, she was, after all, a proud noble, whose beauty and talent had earned her the respect and praise of many important people.
Never in her life had she ever been pitied, yet over the last few days, that was something she felt a lot.
After Lirian had taken her 'hostage', it seemed that everyone in House Kurt had taken pity on her, all of that was still bearable since she had engineered all that pity with Lirian's help.
But she hated the pity she received from Lirian, it made her feel weak, and insignificant, but she didn't have any means to make him stop pitying her.
In the end she was simply to weak, to weak to do anything about her fate, what she needed above all else was strength, only by becoming stronger could she make Lirian view her differently.
