Alana;
"It is a stupid idea!" Igma yells the moment I'm done explaining King Wilhelm's plan to her, and I stand frozen, surprised by her reaction.
"On the contrary, I think it's a brilliant idea. It's the only way we can stop Bram. Play his game and meet him in the middle." I try to explain to her why we need to do this, but she shakes her head in negation.
"You do not understand the cruelty of this kind of game, Alana! You will have to give a lot more than I think you're ready to." She replies, and my brows furrow.
Give more than I'm ready to?
What does she mean by that?
"I… I don't understand." I confess honestly, and she sighs.
She walks up to me and takes my hands as her gaze softens.
"To play a cunning person, you need to get lower than they are. You need to be just as cunning, if not more." She begins, and I nod.
