Thorin's POV:
I came quickly as I could when I heard about what happened to Christine. I felt not only angry, but pissed. This wasn't supposed to happen. As Dis and myself arrived, I knelt beside Christine. "Oh, Mahal, Christine, I'm so sorry." I whispered to her,as I took her into my arms. "Send for Master Oin. She needs medical attention." said Balin to Dis. Dis nodded and walked away. Balin turned to Thorin. "Thorin this matter between you and Sophian should've ended long ago!" snarled Balin. "What do you expect me to do? The little bitch kept running off on me, how am I supposed to end it! You know the laws of our people when it came to marriage annullments, Balin.Two people have to be present for the annullment!" I snapped at Balin. "Well tonight its going to end now. Christine doesn't need this, neither do you." snapped Balin. "What are we going to do?" I asked Balin. "I will personally anull the marriage between you and Sofia myself. Then, you will hold trials on the woman for assault. She will get punished for this." said Balin. I agreed with Balin on this. The woman is goingt to be punished severely for this. And I will make sure of that. "Have Dwalin take her to the dungeons. And her father goes too." I instructed Balin. Balin nodded and walked away.
After Balin left Dis and Oin came, followed by Felicity and Mary Anne. "Oh my god, Chris!! What in the hell happened here?!" yelled Felicity. "That woman Sophian, has assaulted Christine." replied Dis. "Where is she? I wanna get my hands on that bitch!" roared Felicity. "Don't do a thing, Felicity! Dwalin is taking Sophian and her father to the dungeons as we speak." I quickly said. "Good. I hope she stays there and rots." mumbles Mary Anne. I looked up at Oin. "Oin, take Christine to her room and keep watch on her, and heal her wounds. I'm going to take care of some unfinished business." I said to Oin. Oin nodded."I want to go to the meeting,Oin." Christine mumbled softly. "No, my lady. You are injured. His Majesty has ordered me to see to that your injuries are tended too. You need your rest after all that." said Oin gently. Christine sighed. Oin helped Christine stand up and guided her back to her and Thorin' s private quarters. Christine slowly laid down in bed, while Oin worked on her wounds.
I ordered Dwalin to release Sophiana and Larkur out of their cells temporarily until the meeting is over. And the Council began. All the dwarves gathered shouted at me, wanting me to send Christine away from the Kingdom. But not all the dwarves opposed of my soon to be union with Christine. "ENOUGH!" I shouted at all the dwarves. Everyone in the room fell silent. And I began to speak once more. "Some of you don't understand that Christine saved my life during the Battle of Five Armies. She brought me back to life, in which I would've died. But that's not the main issue we're going to discuss. The main issue here is about my so called marriage with Sophiana that I didn't want to happen, not by my choice. I never wanted to marry her, I was forced to. I wanted to end this marriage, but this woman here, Sophiana Copperfire, refuses to do so. Sophiana, you don't even love me as much as you love yourself. Admit it, Sophiana Copper fire, do you have any intention to love me?" I asked Sophiana. "No. I don't love you. You're not even my type." confessed Sophiana. "Then why are you and your father causing all this trouble?" I asked.
"Because, your sorceress woman is not a dwarf. We cannot allow some magic wielder to become a queen!" shouted Larkur. "Oh, is this what all this is about? Is this because Christine is a wizard?!" I yelled. Larkur nodded. "Balin, its time to make the annullment. I want to get this done and over with." I ordered Balin. Balin nodded. "Sophiana and Thorin, face each other." said Balin, as he began the brief anullment ceremony. When the ceremony ended, I sighed with relief. Thank Mahal, that part is over, I thought. Now it was time to hold audience and the sentencing. "Now, I'm going to bring up the attack on Christine, Sophiana. Has you may know, since Christine will be become my wife, and Queen in four weeks, she is still considered part of the Royal Family. And assaulting an individual, especially the future queen resolves in severe punishment!" I began. Sophiana and Larkur's eyes widened. "Some of you may not agree to these, but I sentence Sophiana for execution at the break of dawn!" I announced. "If you execute here, I will join her." said Larkur. "So be it! Dwalin, return Sophiana and Larkur to their cells." I concluded. After that, I turned the rest of the Council.
