Adrian rubbed his temples. He had a massive headache that would not go away and he had not gotten any sleep the night before because he was slumped over a desk. His back and neck ached. He felt like an old man. He sighed and turned towards her.
"Yes. I am. And as a Prince, I have a duty to my people to look out for and take care of them. Obviously, I have not done my job well enough, or you wouldn't be trying to kill me. Therefore I grant you the thing you want most: your freedom. I will do even better than that. I will give you 200 gold pieces to use to start a new life. If this is not satisfactory, I am truly sorry. It is the most I can offer. Our funds are running low, and I have thousands of starving people in my kingdom that need looking after. Please forgive my rudeness, but I am dealing with a lot right now. If you care to leave, please leave now. Other wise, you may stay until we find the man that hired you. If you choose to stay, you have free reign of the castle and all that it provides. Forgive me." He bowed to her, then returned to his desk, looking of books of numbers and letters she did not understand.
