(Kingdom Lupine)
"I thought I might find you up here," Johanna said to Sebastian
"Got something on your mind?" she asked as Sebastian turns around
"I'm worried I'm placing my people in danger rather than helping them by letting her stay," Sebastian says
"I see," Johanna says
"Why do you feel this way, My king?" she askes
Sebastian turns to face the night sky on the tower. He takes a deep breath
"Honestly, because of the past. I worry she's deceiving me. Deceiving us." he says
"Then it appears you would make two of you," Johanna says
"Please understand that I know the gravity of my actions, Johanna. She has the branding of Buckingham. She's pledged her loyalty to that kingdom....... and Jamison. If I can somehow use her to stop Jamison, then I will." he says as he states at the stars in the sky.
"I couldn't live with myself if I let yet another woman of Buckingham try to tear down these walls and break our kingdom again," he says
"Sebastian. you cannot blame yourself for the events of the past." Johanna says as she tries to comfort him.
Sebastian turns and with an angry tone says
"I have no one to blame but, myself. If I hadn't been so foolish they would still be here. I let that beast of a woman in my heart and my kingdom, and she destroyed us all." Sebastian says with anger in his voice and tears in his eyes.
"Sebastian, dear...." Johanna says with a calming voice.
Sebastian sighs and turns to the stars. A tear falls from his left eye.
"I...I..... My apologies for yelling. I just......" Sebastian tries to say before Johanna interrupts
"Don't ever be sorry. You lost your parents at a young age to Buckingham in one night. Then you lost both your sisters in another night to Jamison. I can't begin to understand your pain." Johanna says
"But do you think this woman had anything to do with that? What are you trying to accomplish by making her believe she is someone she is not? Are you willing to pay the consequences of lying?" Johanna asks
"She means something to Jamison and Buckingham, and if she is my ticket to revenge......." Sebastian says before pausing
"So be it!" he says as he pushes his fists against the beam of the balcony.
"Sebastian you and I both know that revenge is a fool's game. Only fools play this game and they never get what they or they don't end up satisfied. Sometimes they do things they don't mean to in the process and end up losing more than they have already lost. Are you willing to lose everything just for a silly vendetta against the king of your enemy kingdom?" Johanna says
"I have nothing left to lose," Sebastian says before he storms off.
Johanna watches him storm off with utter concern.
" Oh Sebastian, what are you doing to our poor weaken kingdom?"
