— Valdemar Karafa, — the rider standing nearby had to correct her commander once again.
— Yes, — Brahea agreed and spoke to Valdemar again, — it is clear to me that your tongue is foul and that you also lacked the courage to stand by your words; however, observing how your companions stood up for you, risking both their honor and their own well-being, I cannot in good conscience sentence you to the maximum penalty... However! Showing such disrespect to a member of the imperial family, especially on their land, is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances, so whether you like it or not, you will have to spend some time in a prison cell. But do not worry, — for the first time during this entire incident, a smile appeared on the rider's face, — we are not like the Lisliar Barbarian and no one is going to skin you alive.
