Meeting Duke Wharton 2

KARA'S POV

"Mmhm, that's a nice, determined face you've got there, nothing like the rumors about you I suppose." He commented. 

 

He then stepped back as he brought a hand up to his chin and contemplated. "I've heard of how you were mistreated in the palace before you were made a princess, is it revenge you seek by going against the king?" he asked me as if trying to make sense of why I was working with the Dukes.

 

"That is part of my resentment toward the king but I also simply wish to end his tyranny," I explained myself.

 

Duke Wharton continued to contemplate.

"This is far from what I was expecting but I suppose…. it's an interesting development, nonetheless." He turned to me once more. He then looked at Isaac. "Regardless of my doubts, I do trust Isaac in his judgment. So tell me what is it you would like to tell me, Your Highness," he asked me curiously.
