Aiden Tenebra's plan is not bad. In fact, it's quite good, and he's right that even if it really fails, we have nothing to lose.
But...
"I am a king, Count Tenebra. I have to think about all the possible facts, I have to make sure that things don't get worse. And... even though the whole world knows you are an enemy of Saligia, even though you are a wiera, I, as a king, cannot ignore the doubt that I know is inside me."
That was the truth.
I was a king who had to think of his nation and a father who had to do his best for his family.
So... I didn't trust him completely.
I wouldn't.
Not yet.
If he wanted to talk to Alith, I would be there. That was the only condition.
But...
"You think the only person Saligia has harmed... is your son?"
I found myself stunned for a brief moment when his words... suddenly became heavier than ever.
