Diana sighed heavily. "I understand that, I'm just trying to avoid a full-blown conflict. The last thing we need is another war."
I have no intention of avoiding a conflict; I could bloody go to war if I have to.
"Warlocks are into business, maybe if we could offer something else that'd take their sights off Eloise."
"And what do you suggest we offer?" I asked irritably.
"They are a greedy bunch."
"Ouch..." Corvin commented. "But the lovely lady is right. However, this is not something Zevrin can just turn away from. He greatly believes a sacrifice will strengthen the craft. He's so consumed that he's willing to tussle with the lycans."
"Is he dragging the entire Order with him, or do they share his twisted ideas?" Diana questioned.
I get what she was trying to do. She wanted to single out the threat. Reasonably, I should be the one doing this, for I was the monarch, and it was my duty to avoid any conflict as much as possible.
