But it was harder every minute, with Yakari and Amena now part of the group too. She knew that she had to come clean with all of them, that she had to expose herself far more than she ever had done if she really wanted to clean up the mess she had caused. It was easier said than done, because it would ruin her pride far more as she had ruined it by now. But somehow she had to try to re-establish her name and it had to start with explaining her poor actions.<br/><br/>She trotted along beside Sir Edward and she felt the hostile and chilly athmosphere in the group. She knew that mainly she had been the catalysator for it all, but the words of Sir Edward rang in her mind. Erathia had a lot of troubles ahead and it made no sense that they got divided over her silly actions. No, she had to speak out the horrible truth and her foul decisions. How could she have done so wrong in such a short time?<br/><br/>They reached the office of Sir Edward finally and while the men took up places on the walls, strictly keeping distance from each other, the ladies were offered the chairs. But Danielle refused to sit down and turned around to the group. The breath caught in her throat when she felt all those hostile eyes on her. She wrung her hands, until she felt the reassuring hand of Sir Edward on her shoulder and she glanced up into his face. He seemed to be the only one who was not hostile towards her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">'"You don't have to start, Lady Danielle..."</span><br/><br/>She shook her head and braced herself. She had to start, because it all had started with her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"No, I have, because I am the source of all the troubles and it took a night in the dungeon with Sir Gregorio's help there to make me understand how much pain I have caused. I need to apologize to all of you, but to some of you I have to make amends far larger than I probably can. Sir Gregorio has listened to all my wailing this night and I guess he didn't enjoy that night in the dungeons a lot, having to comfort me all the time. I know that I can never thank him enough for his patience."</span><br/><br/>She gave the injured knight a shy smile and blushed a little. Lady Marina had looked kind of shocked when she had heard of the dungeons, but she couldn't worry about her right now. There were some others present who where more important right now.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"Lady Amena, Sir Yakari, I know that I have caused you two so much anger and pain with my silly behaviour. Nothing may ever make it undone, but be assured that I understood now that I never loved you, Sir Yakari. I know it sounds ridiculous after all I have done to win your heart, but I guess I had been desperate and blind. Totally blind, because I was caught in my prejudices and not once I took the time to look past them. Sir Yakari, you looked to me like an angel send from above, a man like none I could ever expect and that made me blind for the reality. I never understood that your heart belonged to another lady and I never gave other men an open mind. Sir Alexander I must apologize for all I said to you and how I treated you. You did nothing else than treating me like a lady and all I gave you was hate and intrigues. Well, it seems like intrigues are all I gave to anybody. Just that you know, there was nothing between me and Sir Leon, it was just a quickly knitted plan to piss you off. I followed his lead, as for him it was probably a prank to play on you, but I got carried away and I am sorry for the pain I may have caused in you. I know that you may not want to see me ever again and I know too that I may regret this for the end of my life. But there is a lot I have to regret of those things that happened in the past 24 hours. If I ever survive the wrath of my father..."</span><br/><br/>Her words had come out slowly, painfully but with her last words her voice died and tears started to trickle again down her cheek. She had completely destroyed her life, but at least she had apologized to some of the people she had hurt.</div>
