Alistair,
I will write plainly.
I cannot fathom with what gall, what impudence you regard the situation in which you now find yourself…your kingdom. There is nothing to be said. And most certainly nothing to be done. What interest you had in the Lady Cousland's fortunes dissolved long ago, and I wish only the same could be said for the fortunes of her son.

This is just a short warm up I thought was both necessary and probable to the letter from Wynne, the other witness to the crime. I own nothing and make no money, etc. I was thinking of writing one more point of view, and perhaps a history book entry that would read like a codex. The four that reviewed, THANK YOU SO MUCH. It's lovely to get feedback, especially when it is positive, and you definitely motivated me to keep thinking this through. And as for writing about a point of view from Alistair, I feel like maybe that is some space I should leave grey, so that you guys could fill that in. I've tried to write this so that it can apply to everyone's story, as frustrating as it has been at times, and I feel like maybe my perception of him would unavoidably leak out. I'm still on the border however, so if you push, I will probably cave in. Thanks agains!
