Good Night, My Mate

Evanthe and Cornelia stepped out of the cottage, following the pathway that led to the small garden ahead.

"Your Eminence, you can scold me, blame me for the current situation, or even punish me, but I do not regret what I did," Cornelia said resolutely.

"I could have punished you the moment you went to the elder this morning and proposed a way to save Morpheus, prompting an urgent council meeting," Evanthe replied. "But I didn't, did I?"

Cornelia knew nothing could escape Evanthe's notice and admitted her actions.

Evanthe continued, "I didn't say anything because I know you were right in your place. I can't stop you from doing what you feel is right. Everyone has their own perspective of right and wrong."

"In your perspective, what I did, was it wrong, Your Eminence?" Cornelia asked.
