"I know that you hate me more than anything else for your mother's death. But you must realize, I did love her truly." Alexandre noted.

"I'm not looking for your forgiveness, but I apologize to you as your father. I have failed in my responsibility. All because I let the fear of making the wrong choice get the best of me.

You see... your mother and I... we were meant to be married one day. But my house's patriarch didn't like seeing me marry a 'lowborn'. And so, to my horror, he casted a curse on her, and made her deathly 'ill'.

It didn't end there. He also threatened me with exile and to be hunted for the rest of my days should I haven't married another woman I didn't even love."

Alan didn't seem to ease up, answering, he said "You expect me to believe this sorry oh-woe-is-me story and take your word for it?"

"That's up to you, isn't it? It's your decision to believe me or not" Alexandre answered, before continuing, "I know what you sought to do, Alan. You want to create your own destiny, to carve your own fate, free from dictation by the family that rules our family.

But tell me, is it worth it fighting them, at the cost of many innocents? Is your dream worth the lives of countless people who had never wronged you in any way?

Whether you go down the path i foresee or not is uncertain. But I only ask you this; consider what I've said. That is all I ask of you." he concluded.

"..." Alan remained silent. it was unknown if he agreed or not, but he was certainly still angry.

"I know why you are here, my son. The man you call Eagle had sent you and your companions here to hide from me, from our family. Know that I bear no ill will, but I will do what I must as a member of our family.

However, there is an alternative. If you're willing to listen."

"..."

"Let her marry into our family, and live in Daggerfall. Yes, she will lose her freedom, but she will live peacefully for the rest of her days."

"...Why are you telling me this?"

"Because as your father, I still care about you, and your future. Any real father would have cared the same for their child."

"..."

"Now, decide. Whatever your decision may be, I will come to respect it."
