The king looked at Richard and Lilly. "As you both may have anticipated, this meeting is about the outrage that occurred during today's joust." The kind turned his gaze to his son. "You have broken several rules, a few of which include not attending to your princely duties..." The tone of his voice began to rise. "...allowing an illegal competitor into the joust in your place, as well as striking a knight of a higher rank, and also -" The court jester placed his hand on the king's shoulder to calm him. The king stopped and took a deep breath. He nodded at the jester in thanks, and turned back to Richard. "How do you defend your case?" the king asked.<br/>Richard sighed. "I don't." he said. The king raised an eyebrow in surprise. Richard turned to face Lilly. "I was acting childish, and didn't want to attend the joust. It was my idea for her to take my place. I made her do it." Richard turned back to his father. "I take full responsibility for everything."<br/>The king nodded, and turned to Lilly. "Well, Miss Lilly? Is what he speaks the truth?"<br/><br/>Sent from my Z796C using Tapatalk
