Yes, you're correct in saying that I cannot and will not blame her for such an error. It is possible that it could have been a misunderstanding between her and us. Perhaps our messenger played a small role, as well as the way we worded our letter. However, most of the blame should not fall solely on her because she is a woman and a trustworthy princess. Consider if there has been a time when she has let us or the people down. I believe she would sacrifice her life for them if necessary.
"But Father, you must realize that it appears, not just to me but also to others, that she deliberately disobeyed both your and my orders. Lon claims he witnessed it himself."
"My son, can you truly believe such a thing? Look at all the times she has saved the city and protected the people from attacks in the North. Perhaps there was a valid reason for her actions, despite what Lon says."
But Lon is trustworthy. However, Father, let's consider the situation with Ocger. You mentioned that he deliberately disobeyed.
I did indeed, and he did indeed. For I sent him twice the orders written on paper. Plus I sent three messengers one though at the last minute.
