Finish there conversation there are three men speaking two brothers and there father the princess is there cousin.
Father and king or, F/k:
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.
Eldest Son and prince, or E/S/P:
"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."
F/k:
"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."
E/S/p:
But Lon is trustworthy. However, Father, let's consider the situation with Ocger. You mentioned that he deliberately disobeyed.
F/k:
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. Yet he still disobeyed my commands"
E/S/p:
But father consider may as you said for the princess maybe he had reasons, or trouble.
Youngest son and prince or Y/S/P:
Brother and father consider that he was never fully trusted
F/k:
That is a valid point, my youngest son. However, when it comes to matters of importance and urgency, trust must take a backseat to responsibility and duty. Ocger's actions, regardless of his trustworthiness or lack thereof, put the kingdom and its people at risk. That is something we cannot overlook.
E/S/p:
I understand your perspective, Father. But we must also consider giving the princess the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't automatically assume malicious intent on her part. Perhaps there were extenuating circumstances that led to her actions.
F/k:
You raise a fair point, my eldest son. As much as it is important to hold our leaders accountable, it is also crucial to consider all the facts before passing judgment. We should gather more information and discuss this matter further before making any hasty decisions.
E/S/p:
I agree, Father. Let us find a way to speak with the princess and discuss the situation with her directly. It is important to have an open and honest dialogue to understand her perspective and ensure that justice is served.
Y/S/p:
I also think it's important that we address the issue of trust within our kingdom as a whole. We need to foster an environment where our people feel trusted and where actions are taken based on merit and evidence rather than assumptions.
F/k:
You are both wise beyond your years, my sons. I am proud of the thoughtful way you approach this matter. Let us take steps to rectify this situation and ensure a fair and just outcome.
