Aleksandra pursed her lips and rolled her eyes when Maleki listed out her full title. The entire thing felt suddenly so bitter to her. Bach had also brought her sisters to the forefront of her mind and her thoughts raced around her memories of them, both good and bad and the last moments she had seen them alive. She pressed her eyes closed tightly and tried to will those memories away, opening them to blink back tears she would not allow to fall. Showing weakness in a time like this was not the right move.<br/><br/>She stood silently for a moment, trying to think of what to do and say next. "I was not aware of his full history with you, and I'm still a bit vague on the details, though some of it seems to be falling into place." She stated, looking to Kaya and then to the others in the room. "It sounds like Lord LeVane and his minions have taken things from all of us, in some facet or another." Her mind again shifted to that last night, when he told her he might spare her sisters if she agreed to marry him. She was ready to give in, had even said as much, figuring she would find another way out. He had killed them anyways.<br/><br/>"My father and I did not see eye to eye on many things, but I don't think my family deserved what was visited upon them."  She said, in case anyone else wanted to take shots at her or her family. She could accept actual criticism and she might even agree that Bach's father had been treated unfairly, but muddying the Stalhammar name would not go over well with her.<br/><br/>"And I would much prefer Aleksandra, I don't really have a title if I do not have a realm to claim it with." She could not decide if Maleki was trying to be respectful with the full title or something else entirely.<br/><br/>"He said he had business here and so far he is the only true ally I've come across."
