"We figured you still had some power, you know. You can't shirk all your responsibilities. So you know what? We're letting you go. Because some of us remember the oaths we made, even if they were oaths to traitors like you. If you ever decide to be your own ruler again, you know where we are."
The Crusaders load their weapons and level them toward Bellicose, who is forced away from the gate.

[b]As she mounts her horse and prepares for the journey home, she calls one last time.[/b] You still don't get it, do you? These people can help you more than anyone else. I [i]used[/i] you to get to Felix. I did not care how many lives it would take. I was never meant to be ruler, but I chose to be one. The princess may seem intimidating... well, she is, but in the end, she cares about her kingdom. In the end, I did not. The offer to join still stands, and there will be no further hostile action taken against your people. But if you want them to live like humans and not pigs; help us help you. [b]She departs.[/b]

The Crusaders watch her ride off in silence. The Guard Captain raises his hand, and a signal officer on the wall fires a green flare. A Watcher squad hidden high up in the forest along Bellicose's path responds, preparing their gear.

[b]The Violet Lady takes notice of the flare.[/b] And to think she wants to HELP those hicks... [b]She clenches the horse with her spurless boots, riding faster.[/b] Fine, then. If they think I'm a puppet, then I'll show them my strings.

[b]She grips her shoulder where the bullet grazed, but continues onward.[/b] That's right. See where diplomacy leads.

[spoiler]Um, bullet went past, no into.[/spoiler]

The Captain motions for the team to hold their fire. Bellicose seemed to have gotten their message: Don't try anything.
-
[b]With a vengence in her blood, she rides on.[/b] If you want to make peace, make BLOODY PEACE! Don't attack someone without warning. Those imbeciles...

The Crusaders on the wall pause as the Watcher team records Bellicose's rant. "Did you think that was the right decision, sir?" The Guard Captain shrugs. "All I know is that my family's in the ground for work of hers, and that a little payback was in order."
