Brekham: I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER WAY AROUND IT. WITH TIFFANI GONE AND THE RUMORS SPREADING, WE MUST MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT SOON.
THE RULING HOUSE WILL CHANGE HANDS FROM THE BLADES TO ANOTHER. EVEN I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WILL BE, IN ORDER TO PREVENT NEEDLESS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS.
Korigon: WE WILL FIND HER, HIGH JUDGE. JUST GIVE US MORE TIME. CHANGING HOUSES WILL BRING INSTABILITY AND CONFUSION TO THE PEOPLE.
Brekham: EVEN IF YOU DO, THERE WOULD STILL BE THE QUESTION OF JUDGMENT AND HER ROLE IN ALL OF THIS. IT WILL ONLY CAUSE MORE ANXIETY AMONG THE PEOPLE IF THE KINGDOM HINGES ON HER TRIAL.
BETTER TO JUST GO AHEAD AND CHOOSE A NEW KING BEFORE TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS.
I'M HAVING ANNOUNCEMENTS PRINTED AS WE SPEAK. WHILE IT WOULD BE NICE TO FOR TIFFANI TO BE ON THE THRONE AFTER WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH, I JUST DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING.
Korigon: I KNOW CHANGING HOUSES WAS SUPPOSED TO DISCOURAGE MURDERING AMONG THE NOBILITY, BUT IT STILL SEEMS SOMEONE IS TARGETING HOUSE BLADE, WITH WHAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH. ALAYNA AND NOW THIS.
Brekham: YOU'RE SUGGESTING CONSPIRACY? HAVE YOU ANY LEADS, SOMETHING TO GUIDE US TO JUSTICE BEYOND TIFFANI'S WITNESS?
Korigon: UNFORTUNATELY, NO...
Brekham: WELL, THE JUDGE LORDS WILL DETERMINE THAT JUSTICE IS FOUND.
Heath: IT'S AN AWFUL FEELING, KNOWING YOUR SON WILL NEVER BE KING. ANY SO SOON AFTER THE BETROTHAL WAS ANNOUNCED. IT MUST STING. BUT AT LEAST YOU SILL HAVE YOUR SON WITH YOU.
Korigon: SPARE ME YOUR FALSE SYMPATHIES, HEATH. THIS ALL FEELS SATISFYING, RIGHT?
Heath: SO, DO YOU REALLY THINK SOMEONE IS TARGETING THE BLADE FAMILY?
Korigon: IT SEEMS THAT WAY. FIRST, ALAYNA CAPTURED AND KILLED. YOUR SON TRYING TO SAVE HER. NOW JORJ AND MARTA ARE GONE. AND THE BLAME SOMEHOW FELL ON TIFFANI. EITHER IT'S ALL ONE MASTER PLAN TO TAKE OUT THEIR HOUSE, OR SOMEONE WANTS VENGEANCE FOR WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE.
Heath: CAREFUL WHAT YOU INSINUATE, KORIGON. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN HIS FRIEND, BUT THE HIGH JUDGE WILL DETERMINE JUSTICE WITHOUT FAVORITISM.
AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE YOU FALL FROM GRACE.
