A Contradiction

"Everything revolves around perception which is a personal choice. Therefore, happiness or sadness come from this choice. Therefore, you are happy as you decide to be. You can always choose whether to see the good or the bad—do good or the other. And yes, you disagree just because seeing the bad is always the easier way."

Kari must've gone mad.

To think that she would agree on a half-baked plot that involved her tying the knot with none other than her disciple, Dustan—who just so happened to be the prince. Of course, the plan itself seemed genius. But only if executed properly. What use is a plan if the actors at play cannot carry the job?

In fact, the actual question—that is, how will they coax Dustan into taking action in this whole mess—remains unanswered. Kari had no idea where to start. When asked this same question, Adelredus merely smiled and said the obscenest of thoughts.
