When Leah fainted, some Kappas rushed to see how they could help her. They removed her silver cuffs so she could recuperate later, and we asked the press to leave. We did not want the rest of the discussion televised for security purposes.

While the Kappas tried to take Sean away, he began to struggle.

"This is ridiculous. This is unfair. When I supported a Monarch, I did not ask for my right to be taken from me. I have the right to a fair trial. Evidence is to be brought with witnesses," Sean said, and I was off the edge.

His collaboration with Yuri overwhelmed the East and South's economic system. We had all sorts of people trooping in because they were displaced. I could not believe the nerve he had to protest and speak of his rights. What about the rights of the people he displaced by being complicit, 1

"You all do not know what is coming," he said, finally giving up the pretence.

That is why I had no choice. All they asked me to do was give them information on your whereabouts, upcoming events, and legislation.
