ELIZA (to Lady Galadria, maintaining a stoic demeanor) "Yes, indeed, milady, I fear that would have been the case. Lucky we are that my Lord is here, for I saw little accomplished by you, either." (turns back to Verloren) "What an adventure! I think that you did well just to survive. What a shame about your mother. She seemed rather...strange when she talked to me. Why does she stay with your father? Nay, bother not to answer." (laughs bitterly) "He is a King, and one does not leave a King as easily as a normal man. My memory is fogged," (apologetic smile) "but I cannot remember my mother at all. My father was a hard taskmaster, and forced me to do many things, some evil, and I am afraid to say that, at the time, I seem to have rather gloried in them. For he was a King, too, Cedric, King of the Marches, so we are sister-princesses, though he is dead, now, and the kingdom in chaos. Lucky I am to have met my Lord," (here, she looks at Blandamour with undisguised love) "and he is guiding me to the true path, so that I do not fall back into my old ways..." (here, a look of pain shoots across her face, and she falls unaccoutably silent)
