<span style="color: #00b300">"oh? worst case scenario you spend your life here with Kitori, Monia, our children and me, would that be so terrible? people who don't know you personally won't know what happened before."</span>he nodded with a smile.<span style="color: #00b300">"yes, it is and i am very happy to have you here."</span><br/><br/>Melody stopped and looked back at The'kal.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"i would have told you the truth, just like i always have. but let's assume that this is the truth, which i have no way of knowing since your caught dead lying one way or another. Ashia wakes up in your arms, someone or something has violated her in every possible way and then killed her. instead of lying to her face making her think you raped her in every possible way you tell the truth. you tell her you don't know what or who did this to her but you going to help her recover and then your going to help her hunt down the person who did this to her. she needed your care, instead she is in Vyre's hands. she loves a good bit of violent justice which you could help her get. next we have Order, oh, wait, you didn't lie to Ashia and make someone you love hate you so you don't need to cry on her shoulders for two days. instead you tell her what you know, someone violated Ashia in every way and murdered her, giving Order yet another chance to show you her devotion and go on a righteous investigation that will end in the death of a monster. those poor children still die but Order doesn't despise you for it, instead she has your shoulder to cry on while you tell her that the mercy she showed those children was a good thing and that you will get the person who made this happen. now, with the two people you love you hunt down whoever or whatever did this and between the three of you justice is swift and permanent. hell, you even get to look good to our people because anyone or anything that can break six layers of Order's safeguards is a threat to our entire species. if this were the truth then you could have come out looking like a hero to our people, reaffirmed your relationship with Ashia by taking care of her and earned even more trust then Order already gave you freely."</span>she shook her head with a bitter, pained grimace.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"but what do i know? your plan seems to have come off brilliantly... lets see, they aren't hunting the culprit or even worried about defending themselves from further attacks because they think you did it. they despise you in every possible way and you have been thrown in some form of prison that you may never leave. yeah, i definitely would have pulled Ashia close and told her i am sorry that this happened and that i wasn't there to stop it because i was building a home for us to raise our children in." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
