Gabriel listens silently what the king says, for a brief moment his eyes gently glow in golden light and study on king's soul. He had earlier detected signs of evil in king but he wants make sure what king is feeling is genuine regret, a something which can pull anyone from darkness towards the light. It's not usually fast progress but can be quick if evil what person did is shallow and not deep.<br/><br/>After brief divine check up on king Gabriel replied; "Do not blame yourself from having a wicked sword which you had no control in first place highness. You did create it yes but was unaware what sort materials you crafted it from first place. The knights would had reported these things earlier but protectors drived them off, so protectors knew you would not approve their abuse of power.<br/><br/>I see, I am glad to learn why you in first place created the protectors. To appear powerful and stand strong, but country who had just lost a king who was much loved and cared for does not welcome rough measures. You should had first builded trust and love in subjects who did not know what sort of king you are. I am sorry to hear that your father favored the bastard child more than you in his affection, father should always give equal measure of affection to all children but none of us are perfect.<br/><br/>But even if king favored his bastard daughter then he at least thinked you as proper king to the throne, he thinked you have the potential will and strength to become good king but you made just bad decision to go too much hard side in things blindly and then alone without guidance you created something what you did not intent to create.<br/><br/>However, everything is not yet lost my highness. You can still become a king and I have hope we can solve this, but you need now think how you bear responsibility for your actions and make decisions how you do so. Being a king is not about privilege, but rather heritaged duty. Now that you have heard things what protectors have done behind your backs, what you think we should do? I can give you advice but I want hear what you desire to do now."
