I know the one Louis speaks of. She's the second I vouch for.
I'm begging you, Alina, do not have her name dragged to the front. I will vouch for her. I will stake my honor and my reputation on it. If I'm wrong and she revealed a murderer in this game, I will out myself as having protected her for whatever punishment deemed fit. If I also independently find out she has done any of this, I will give her name up for the protection of others.
But she is new to vampirism. She needs care and guidance, not the eyes of the masses.
I asked her. I did ask. And I believe her when she answered me. Additionally, I know she has no knowledge of your unique abilities, but I also know she has no reason to fear them if she did know.( even that's pushing so close to revealing who it is. he hates that the blond hair narrows it down so thinly. )
( — is all she'll say, on the matter. the ugly truth of it is that she has own suspicions of what alia's done, as glaringly as sunspots in her eyes. caroline would only be another sacrifice to put on the pyre to keep her name cleared, safe.
alina swallows the acid in her throat, threatening to empty what little is in her stomach. )
I'm not even sure I believed she did it. It doesn't matter, now. Alicent would choose to believe everyone who whispers in her ear but me.
No one has allowed me peace or rest before. Why should it be different now?
( perhaps it was always meant to be this way, she thinks, macabre. what saint has ever managed to escape their grim fate? not alina, now. she'd been a fool to think it were easy as sweeping away the silk of a spiderwebs, to forget the sticky trap of destiny. )
Thank you. For trying. It's more than most would do.

I wish I could end this for you, Alina. If I manage to avoid the dungeons, I will still endeavor to find who hurt you specifically.
In the meantime, I am just sorry to see you dragged through all of this when you deserve to be at peace and resting right now.
