Another short, tear jerking, powerful chapter... Just like chapter 4. Enjoy. This is Tancred's reaction to Rita, and the proclamations of her "attorney." lol
Chspter 17- Margarita.
Same time, 3rd person.
Silence... That was the dominating adjective that would describe the throne room. The king look down at them from his perch atop the raised dais. He had a look of contemplation, slight confusion, and shock written on his face.
"Hmm..." He hummed, then turned, he looked out at the audience in the throne room.
"I made Kovir a safe haven for all that are and were persecuted by the other nations, be that for their talents, looks, or abilities..." He paused, no one said anything, though some held their breaths.
"I do though, however also remember how that came to be in the first place, and who caused it to happen." He finished, his gaze coming to rest on Margarita.
Rita tried her absolute best not to look nervous, showing her innocence, she knew it was important.
"But I'm also not one to wrongly jump to conclusions, in Kovir we have due process, and I trust my mage advisor, you came in here of your own free will and confident at that, and in the company of two very trustworthy characters..." He paused, then after a few moments he addressed Triss.
"What do you have to say on your companions behalf? Lady Merigold?" He asked.
She took a deep breath and without hesitation she started speaking: "Sire, the Lodge of Sorceresses was founded in order to protect the influence of magic and to ensure the survival of magic in this world. I've known Margarita almost my entire life, and I know that the only reason she co-founded the Lodge in the first place, is for the preservation of magic and for the students of Aretuza... Not because of political ambitions, or personal gain, all she's ever wanted and worked for is the teaching and thriving of magic. I also know that she was one of only three members that completely opposed the assassinations. She's as innocent as I am, or anyone else in this room, more so in fact." She announced, her voice regal and confident, unwavering.
Geralt didn't say anything, but he was nodding his head, even though he didn't want to be there, and would much rather be other places doing other things, he did care about Rita... who she was beaming with pride, and relief, at her prodige's speech.
Tancred looked thoughtful, and stood there with a perfect poker face... After a few moments, that felt like hours, he said:
"and what about you? What do you think, witcher?"
Ahhh shit...
"Dammit! Why couldn't I have just done the right thing, and NOT asked him to come with? Bravo Triss..." Triss thought to herself, nervous and worried, but yet not letting it show a bit.
"Great... Now I'll owe him twice, please don't say the wrong thing, Geralt." Rita thought to herself.
Geralt sighed, he knew how important this was, he wouldn't screw it up.
He took a deep breath and spoke.
"Sire... Everything Triss said is true, Rita had nothing to do with the assassinations, and she only joined the Lodge in the first place in the interest of magic, and she's suffered for that decision ever since. The truth is that she lost almost everything she loved and cared for, because of the actions of the Lodge, because of the assassinations, because of the persecution of mages and witch hunts. In the south she helped us when we needed her the most, and expected nothing in return, and before that she was tortured in a Redanian prison in Oxenfurt... Alongside all her remaining students, survivors from Aretuza trying to reach Triss in Novigrad, getting captured and watching one after the other be taken away, you know for what, Rita being saved for last... But even after experiencing that she came here of her own accord, knowing the risks and the potential fate that awaited her, but yet here she is... She's tired of the dirt thrown at her for her association with the Lodge, which all but destroyed her life, so she came to Kovir knowing that whether a new life or death awaited her, either way she'd be free. I trust her with my life, and there's no one with a purer heart, than these two." He finished, gesturing to his left, at Rita and Triss, his voice was sincere, loving, powerful, and serious.
Triss was looking at him like... well, you can't really explain it, pride? Respect? Shock? Maybe all three. She wouldn't cry in the throne room, but as soon as they got home he was sure she would.
Rita was staring at him with tears in her eyes, too many emotions to read were swimming in her eyes.
You could hear some sobbing coming from the audience, from people that couldn't bear to keep them in, listening to the heart breaking speech.
Even Tancred was shaken up, looking sad and crest fallen, hearing that.
"I- Well, I didn't expect to hear such a... Heartbreaking speech." Tancred started.
"But, I don't have any doubt left after that, I pardon you for from any criminal ties to the Lodge, and give you asylum here in Kovir. Many of the mages work here in the palace, if you'd like to as well, then I'll find you a good position. Also, should miss Merigold offer a seat on the council, I'm sure you'll fit in well, Margarita." He finished, sounding appraising.
He started clapping, and all the others did too, Geralt joined in, and Triss looked at Rita, then they hugged each other, Rita was actually crying now, happy tears.
She pulled away from Triss, and looked to Geralt, she smiled before hugging him too.
"Thank you," she said to him.
"You've nothing to thank me for, I meant every word, like Triss said... You're family."
A/N- OK, I'll admit... I had tears in my eyes the entire time writing this, it's just so tear jerking.
I found out that my dad has been in the hospital with a broken back for the past week... Needless to say that didn't help my teary eyes.
Please review, love you all! :) F&F R&R
