Something more personal. What is it, Sir Robert? Why me?"</span></span>Robert couldn't help but give a smirk. Leon had always been rather intelligent. He took another gulp of his ale,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4080FF">"Well, Sir Leon, you have the right of it. All those things did cross my mind--but I chose you because you are the one she is most afraid of. You terrify every little piece of her and she knows how dangerous you can be. She wanted to shirk her responsibilities--even when I gave her a chance to find her own suitable husband. Now she must deal with who I choose. And who better than the man she is afraid of most?" </span></span><br/><br/>Robert told the truth in that regard. Amena was absolutely terrified of Leon, something she had seen him do once though she refused to ever speak of it. There were also the many haunted girls who would come through, begging for justice though none could be found. The only thing they would receive were gold coins and warnings not to search for retribution. She had never spoken of her fear except to her father in letters home, and he had never offered words of comfort, only stating that men were like that. Being with Leon or anyone like Leon would put Amena in her own personal hell, thoroughly punishing her for her rebellion and treatment of Robert.<br/><br/>Then of course there was the fact that she loved Yakari so much. Being forced to marry the brother of her love? Being unable to ever be with the man she desires because she is forced to be married to her fear? It was much too sweet of punishment for Robert to pass up. He could only imagine the dread Amena would feel day in and day out. He would never have to plead or beg with her, he woudl simply give her a command and she would do it immediately, fearing that Robert would come up with something worse. He was sure Leon would pass her off to Rufus, which was just as sweet.
