Sakuramoria

- There are few options, and they are all bad. We can file an official complaint against Rhododendron and continue the blockade – sooner or later, they will have to come out, and we will be waiting for them. Or, we can request reinforcements for a proper sweep of the forest. But most likely, your father will send his own forces to help him and start something that will lead to catastrophic consequences for Sakuramor. And not just internal ones – judging by everything, he hasn't looked at the world's political map in a long time if he thinks this is acceptable.
The second option is, let's say, to complain to our parents. Arrange a family meeting or dinner with them and the king, in which we try to clarify the situation. But firstly, your father won't believe a single word coming from your husband. In his grand idea, I am a succubus who has bewitched the monarch's mind. Ha-ha! Can you imagine the irony? Me! Does he even know how old I am? So, any means are justified. Even if he starts a fistfight with his father right there and reverts to the first scenario. And... no offense to you personally, but after everything that has happened, I have no reason to believe he is a man of honor, for whom the end justifies the means. At least, everything I've seen from them so far suggests the opposite. And secondly, you know the king... His behavior is not always easy to interpret, let's just say.
The third option is to do what they demand. We will lose these students – let's even assume that they did it of their own free will, without being intimidated or deceived. This will not solve the overall problem in any way, and will only give him free rein to put more pressure on us. Besides, the crime committed at the event will go unpunished... And, frankly, why not? Who will do anything to them for that? The Crown is allowed to do anything in this country, right? He wants to – he brands a young girl as a concubine. He wants to – he kills children. He wants to – he stages a terrorist attack! Everything is available to the Starlight family! Get your hammers, chop wood, and we'll laugh! - The second inkwell flew at the wall and splattered its contents all over the Sakuramor flag, which hadn't been washed since the last time. - And why do I even bother, coming up with something? Everything is so simple...
