If Kelson hadn't been king with four years of experience under his belt, he might have rolled his eyes. "Friendship is offered freely Caedra, you'd best learn the difference."
He had no doubt that if his cousin Conall were here he would have taken the deal. Jesu, he had taken it, maybe not with a literal demon but the difference was all for none. Once he started on that path there was nothing Kelson could have done to keep him from tumbling down into the executioners sword. Not that Kelson saw it that way, but Kelson was an angsty teenager who had to kill his cousin.
He looked down, pushing his dinner away in disgust and taking a sip of his wine. The wine was at least still good. A nice Fianna red. Perhaps Queen Margaery would be kind enough to share her venison. The company was surely better.
At least he could live with a clear conscience. Yes, he had been taught well. If he hadn't been taught well he would have been tempted to do something back to her. Conall would have.
LOL
