[There's a pause, thoughtful, somber. He's trying to arrange the events as best as possible, trying to gloss over insignificant details and trying to put together what mattered.]
Drautos had been working with the Empire. I don't know how long, but long enough that some big promises had been made to him. If you ever met a General Glauca, that was him. He was the one that killed your father. [His eyes flicker, does his damned best to not think about what happened and simply speak of them without the pictures to go with the words.] He tried to protect us. He did protect us. He made a wall between us and himself. He told Princess Lunafreya to take the Ring, and for me to go with her. Drautos stabbed him with his sword and killed him. King Regis knew it was the end for him. Your father knew that day wouldn't end well for him or the kingdom.
[He fishes out from his pocket the duplicate Ring, dead as can be, gleaming black and deceptively inviting on the table he sets it on. The Ring of kings, the Ring of power, the Ring that undid so much, and was meant to save them all, too.] Princess Lunafreya had meant to carry this to you, you know that. I put it on and it was the last of anything before I got here. The Empire had overrun the city by then, releasing daemons into the city to track us.
