Worst but simplest path

"I'm quite disappointed," I announced, while fully aware of how little either party cared about my opinion here. 

Right now, I was just a third party. A worthless nobody stepping right between two hostile parties. There was hardly any meaning to my existence when placed between Etaria and Claudy. 

But still, I was a human. And I was capable of voicing out my thoughts, at the very least. 

"What is even a human doing on the side of the forest monsters in the first place?" Etaria spoke, keeping her voice on the edge between a polite tone and an outright hiss. 

It seems that Claudy's jab from just before was pretty damn accurate, otherwise, I couldn't really tell what shook Princess composure enough to make her lift her polite mask a bit.
