You have a dangerous tongue. It might lead you into trouble one day.

Are you truly asking whether I would go as far as betray my family and York blood?

[conflictresolution]

It is most enjoyable that you can't actually answer the question. Perhaps if you stepped out from under this unworthy God, you'd find more of freedom?

No. I am asking if you want the crown and the seat of power that comes with it. Your strange lines of succession mean nothing to me.

[traumaticus]

I can tell that you truly do not understand.

Not my God, crown nor the weight of the question, let alone the meaning behind my answer.

cw: anti-religion omg i'm so sorry for him

[conflictresolution]

Explain it to me so I can understand.

Your God is a misogynist holding people back from enjoying life by punishing them with the illusion there is something after death waiting for you when everyone, everywhere is corrupt.

That is because God is God, and we are mere humans. Full of sin and foolishness, rejected from the eternal paradise for their crimes. To repent and earn place back in the light humans must follow the divine plan and pray forgiveness while submitting to their fate.

I am not in the line for the throne. That would be the two princes my brother left behind. The sun is shining on Edward the Fifth.

If I was to wish for the crown and the seat of the power that comes with me it would mean I would be willing to cast away my mortal soul and turn my back on the God.

Gods are beings with a bit of power that flaunt about for their own egos. There is no such thing as eternal paradise; it is a lie that has been made up to chain you. Life and ambition is what you make of it. I will never ask any being claiming to be my better for forgiveness.

Or you discredit his bloodline's purity. You said kings have lovers outside of marriage, and I assume women may as well. Are those actually your brother's children, or a result of a dalliance outside of the king's bed?

Turn your back on God. He is using you.

[Hm.

There is only just so much familiarity that Richard can take before he feels something shatter. Because unbeknownst to Silco, this isn't the first time when someone had urged Richard to leave the God behind and break free of the chains holding him back. Just like he doesn't know that Richard has already accepted it, and made the plans to deceive even the mightiest power that there is. Slither in the paradise like a snake.

But it also reminds Richard that he indeed is here, not in England despite finally having his plans and schemes worked out. The support of people, loyalty from the nobles county, enemies defeated and paradise finally his. Only for him to be spirited away from the golden circle. A punishment.

He feels his chest burn and feeling so lonely again, mind and body yearning for the person who's words Silco is mimicking. Perhaps Joan is laughing somewhere.

Yeah no. He doesn't want to do this now. So, there'll be no reply from him.]
