Damien rocked back as if she'd slapped him. What was /wrong/ with her?
"That is /unfair/, Lian. Not once, in the entire time that we were together, did I ever portray myself as someone other than I am. The expression is 'what you see is what you get'. I lived that.
You infiltrated my organization, fed me lies about why you came and...then you pretended to /love/ me. You took my feelings and used them against me.
Then you ran away with our child to another man! I sacrificed the well-being of people who look to me for leadership to bring you home...all for you to choose another man over /me/! ME, Lian!" Damien yells.
"I did not want your friend to die, but he made two crucial mistakes in his bravado. First, he stood between an assassin and his prey. You know the price for that.
Secondly, he was not a civilian as you're trying to paint him. He was about to murder my manservant and then he would have turned on me. He raised arms against me, as did all of the Outsiders.
You know that I had men killed for /less/. Yet there have been no reprisals. /That/ is the depth of my love for you, Lian. I was willing to risk losing face in front of my subordinates to protect you and our child.
I admit to the wrongs that I am responsible for, but before you accuse me, look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are blameless." Damien says.
