Soleia blinked in surprise. "Are you sure you aren't lying to me because you felt guilty for your own lack of action? You should have picked another person."
Princess Nessa spluttered. "Why I'd never― I told him about it, days before the wedding! If you don't believe me, feel free to question him. He's now a dying man, I highly doubt he'd lie to you. More importantly, you shouldn't trust men so easily. They lie as often as they breathe."
"And I suppose trusting women is better," Soleia couldn't help but retort, "Since they would never lie to you, isn't that right?"
Nessa's cheeks colored at the reminder of her past faith in Elowyn. "Fine, then we shall not trust anyone. Happy?"
