Annie Richter: Page of the Oracle, Squire of the Knights of Ilios Wrote:I may mourn those you have lost, yet you continue to attempt to coerce and lie about what you have at stake in this house. You hold it over my head as if I did not have the guts to say, ''enough is enough . '' I have played along long enough-- your last offer was a spit in my face, and all my kindness has been for naught. Know this: winter does not come kindly for those unprepared.

And I will say this for the last time:
I offer you one hundred and fifty thousand coins and--no more, no less. If you decline this generous offer, know this: you will be left with nothing.

I'll be right back.

Quote:Almost exactly a year ago, my mother received letters from you demanding the house, she told you 'No.' but you insisted.

Then? You barged into the house while Queen Rubi was away on business.

What happened next? She changed the locks.

After her death, barely an hour later, one of your aunts barged into the house, demanding it.

At that moment, I should have done something, but I put it off at the request of two people I care about, who told me to be more lenient with you, to be more forgiving.

I spoke with your brother and said that if you left me alone until you turned eighteen, I would sell you the house. At that moment, thanks to his words, I considered lowering the price to a hundred thousand as a gesture of peace between us... or if you truly hadn’t bothered me, I would have given it to you.

As long as... you left me alone during that time.

It hasn't even been three months since that conversation, and you've already tried something, Annie Richter. You really are a lost cause. You claim to have a right to a property that my family has looked after for over three decades. Your family? Not a single adult in your family, apart from that aunt, has even come close.

I’m tired. I don’t have time for your tantrums. Go yell and scream that everything is unfair somewhere else.
I said it… over and over again 'If she tries anything else and that house disappears.'

I warned.

You kept going.

This is the consequence.
