Layne Djo-Solo
Entry 14 - Betrayal!
My own father, my own flesh and blood, has undermined my efforts to see Tana properly wed. And for what? So he can denounce the boy he raised to allow him free access to my sister. So Gidden can court Tana freely, as a commoner - of all things - and prevent the scandal that is sure to ensue!
If I could use the Force, I would go positively Sith!
And Mother... mother was ungrateful to say the least. She approves of my methods of with the people, but not with my own family. She accused me of being self-centered and scheming; she even threatened to take away the title Gidden so willingly gave me upon his return home! The title is mine by right. Mine! I am the Chume'Da. Me! No one else. Jarid would not and does not want it, Tana would decline and Kalen and Allana are much too young to even begin thinking of such things.
I am the one who is thinking beyond myself, not of myself as she so callously claimed. I was simply trying to save the family from a scandal which it is likely not to recover from and for what? To have it thrown back in my face and my parents give this madness their blessing!
How dare they? How dare they meddle in my carefully laid plans? Gidden should never have returned home!
