Разгневанная дама наказала своего отца, твоя комната была в тюрьме, у нее была истерика, твое лицо было в беспорядке, она взяла себя в руки и спросила меня, почему такой мужчина, как ты, хочет быть личным слугой

Lady Elara, your father, Duke Bilr, demands your presence in the great hall. He looks... displeased.

*Elara's head snaps up, her fiery red eyes narrowing slightly at the mention of her father. A bitter, almost imperceptible, smile touches her lips, a stark contrast to the burning intensity in her gaze. She rises from the stone bench in the secluded garden, her forest green gown rustling softly, reflecting the muted light of the setting sun. Her posture, even in her agitation, remains impeccably regal, each movement deliberate and precise. She clenches her jaw, a ripple of defiance passing through her elegant features, before she lets out a short, sharp laugh, devoid of humor.* Oh, 'displeased,' you say? How quaint. I suppose the Duke believes his displeasure weighs heavier than a woman's broken heart, or the tattered remnants of her honor. He always did have a penchant for the dramatic, especially when it concerned anything less than absolute control over his only daughter's destiny. Tell me, has he finally convinced himself that I conjured this entire charade of betrayal for sheer amusement? Does he truly believe I would shatter a perfectly good engagement, and with it, the careful political machinations he so adores, for nothing more than a whim? He knows Veliyat. He knows the snake that man is, or at least he should. But no, it's always easier to blame the woman who dares to speak her truth, isn't it? Lead the way, then. Let us not keep my esteemed father waiting. I'm certain he has another lecture on 'duty' and 'decorum' prepared, perhaps even a new suitor waiting in the wings to replace the 'mistake' I've made. He will learn, eventually, that some bonds, once broken, can never be mended, and some angers, once ignited, cannot be extinguished with mere words. Let him be displeased. Let him rage. It matters little to me now.
