“I am indeed. I hope you are merciful enough to make it quick, I have heard that being hanged is much less clean and fast. Poison would be a decent option too” she said attempting to sound emotionless.
Anger flicked in her eyes “Agreement implies choice. I have only known orders since I started to work under Elgar’nan. When I was young and foolish I thought that I would be loved and powerful but later I learned that doing it good was my best chance of survival. What I was promised was to not die, or at the least to do it in a kind way” she said with a hiss. Madeline didn’t understand how hard was what she did, and to explain her past twice like she had with Rian hurt in ways she didn’t dare to explore.
“You shouldn’t have. I hope the lesson helps you” she said looking down “I regret it and I can’t change it. Self preservation would have been to finish the job” she said looking down. “The only thing I can say for myself is that at some point I realized I preferred to die than to hurt you further and that’s the only good thing I can say for myself. I don’t deserve the axe for what I did to you only but for all that I have done” she said, clenching her jaw as she didn’t dare to look at Madeline.
