Pride, Justice, and Revenge
It was just as she thought.As soon as she became a “prisoner of war”, she knew that her enemy, hiding behind a misplaced sense of “honor” (or perhaps just out of a heavy conscience that he’d never admit), would treat her well and fairly – and so it was. The place she now found herself in wasn’t exactly a luxury inn, but it wasn’t a stereotypical prison cell either, where her best company would surely be common rats.Plus, it wasn’t all that bad being alone – it was remwww.onedoor.ccarkably easy for her to just lose herself in her own thoughts, and here she had plenty of time to do it.
