Emily: King Haddock, what is it that you wanted to speak with me about?
King Haddock: * suddenly uncharacteristically abashed * * shuffles around for a moment * * clears throat * * averts eyes * * finally speaks *
I…I want to apologize. For everything. For seeming harsh, both where I intended, and when I did not mean to cause harm. For acting out of passion, and resultantly harming others like yourself. For failing to explain my logic and my reasons. For all the doubts I have shown you. For giving you reason to doubt me.
That is never as I have intended, and I am very sorry for how I have come across and acted as of late. A king should do better than this, and I should strive to… to be that ideal king, one who is respected for his rightful actions, and not by his title alone. I had that respect once. I fear, with recent events… please don’t speak to others about this… but I fear that others are beginning to question me.
I can’t have that. If others doubt, we fall apart. We must be unified. And I care greatly about my honor and who I am as a person.
Alpha, you are one I have always respected, and your place amongst the Grounded Dungeon Rebels is one that has always brought us great security. But also more than that. Companionship. Maybe I do not speak my heart aloud much, but I do value your friendship greatly.
I know you stepped away to build the other ice fortress, but it would do me great happiness if you returned to us in the main fort permanently and continued to serve me. As you are, free, no restrictions. You are loyal and kind and I believe I can trust you.
And I also want to ask one more thing of you…
Understand this is simply between the two of us and you can choose whatever path you desire.
But I realize lately my judgments have been clouded by passion, fury, and grief. I am burdened with many stresses in chaotic times. I find it… * sigh * …almost too much to bear. But it is my responsibility, and I will do as I must. Anyway. It would do me - and all of us - great benefit if I could have an official adviser to guide me. Would you consider being a guiding hand for me, and speaking your honest mind to me, and giving your advice, as you see fit?
