[The expression on Dimitri's face turns grim, even visible by the torchlight.]
I learned very recently that several nobles of the kingdom were involved in the conspiracy to assassinate my father. They chose to stab the man they swore oaths of loyalty to in the back, all because he sought to give the commoners more power in our land. Furthermore, it was they who spread the rumors to rile the people.
[Dimitri doesn't like lust for power, but he can at least respect it when the person is overt about it. When they connive and sneak through the shadows, and then preach hypocrisy when it comes to their motives, he absolutely hates it.]
And to think, they felt they had the ground upon which to speak of upholding fairness and justice. Their "justice" was built on a foundation of corpses.
