“My father would do no such thing.” she said, but swallowed. How well did she know his advisers? She rarely delved into that end of things. And she really should have, if she was going to be taking over. An oversight she would have to begin correcting when she got back… perhaps it was time to make herself known. But she’d prided herself greatly on her hard work and didn’t want to risk that. Still, considering everything that he was saying, especially about the military and their security…<br/><br/>“I… I want to say no. I want to say it couldn’t happen. But you’re right. Leaks happen. And there could easily be people out there who know… who I am. Who are not part of our inner circle. I will accept your offer of some of your men to accompany me. Hopefully they’ll be able to reassure you that i am in good hands. And me.” he was starting to scare her, after all. “I’ll need to finalize at least part of my findings, and send the report directly to my father. He and I have a private encryption code that requires our fingerprints. I’m confident my intel will get to him without issue.”<br/><br/>She looked around the room and then sighed softly. “I… should really get back to work. I need to know what those scans found.” she said softly, before smiling at him politely. “But It would probably be for the best if someone came and got me at dinner time…” her voice was almost sheepish, as though she knew how silly it was that an adult could not keep track of time when she was working.
