Tarmac’s Other Side (1)
"You are not asking for yourself as well?" Regaleon asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I am also at fault with knowing and not reporting to it to your majesty sooner." Arnold bowed his head. "I will take any punishment you see fit, your majesty."
There was silence for a while. I can see that Arnold's hands were shaking. He maybe willing to take responsibility for his father and brother's action, but he is still only a young man that has not come of age just yet. He can still be classified as a kid in high society.
"I admire your sense of responsibility, young lord Arnold." Regaleon said. "But you are not at fault with your father and brother's own decision. I will not hold those who have not sinned accountable for other people's sin. Or do you think I am such a tyrant ruler that I would punish your whole family with the sins of your father and brother?" Regaleon's countenance was that of a ruler.
