"I said from a different country, not Valtrenna! Falcon Forest was full of corrupt nobles before Stormhale arrived! When my parents spoke out against them, those nobles hired an assassin to make sure they did not become a major threat! All that did for them was start a rebellion while that same assassin pursued Zechariah and I!" Such ignorance! She was in no way blaming Valtrenna, and this other man was insisting on it. She could not control her emotions, anymore. "But you are right: I am a terrible diplomat, especially when Zechariah is brought into it! He has no loyalty to any specific country, but he was willing to go on the mission to see if the stones have anything to do with the rift! His loyalties are to nature, nothing more! The reason I became a diplomat was so nobody else would have to suffer the same things he and I did!"

She quickly realized she was not behaving like she should. Not even bothering to look at anyone, she brushed away the tears and said, "Thank you for your time! I shall wait outside for your response!"

Hannah did not say anything else. When she looked at the guards and walked trhough the door, she waited outside to see what they had to say.
