Great Prince sneered down at Grand Duke Harrison Shelton, Duke Stone, and Duke Kent, furrowing his brows and demanding, "You three have declared your neutrality many times before.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood our intentions."
Duke Stone, slightly hunchbacked, stroked his white beard and stepped forward with a self-assured grin, "We always said we wouldn't interfere in the battle for the throne, not that we wouldn't support a certain heir. Thus, everything we have done is justified and reasonable."
"Exactly, if these people can choose who they are loyal to, why can't we?"
