My loyalty.” He lets me swallow those words down into my chest where they burn me like embers. “I will tell you this now, Tamsin; I don’t want to besiege your homeland. I don’t want any of it to happen. But I have no weight if I act alone. I’ve tried, but there is nothing… nothing I can do to stop it.”
