He smiled, knowing full well what she was getting at. I think, if I might be so bold, that you would find Political History far more worthy. I say that because, Military, while incorrectly regarded as Hero's, serve as a role. I knew your father well enough to know that he would have done well in the House of commons. His smile failed at the mention of Hall.Perhaps he'd still be here if he'd made that choice, he dismissed the thought with a shake of his head and a wave of his hand. Regardless, If it is capital ships you desire, I shall take you to the Military History section.
A seat in the Parliament, already! She would not be hoping for this even in her wildest dreams. Her pupils dilated, and for a few moments that was all which managed to pass through her strict emotion control. But it was so busy that she said nothing and just stared helplessly for a few moments, until the cold walls crumbled and let through a ray of avaricious emotions in one of the rare instances of Elizabeth's true smiles. And this one was wide, too. "Me? In the Parliament!? Ha! Ha-ha! A rare sense of humour you have, Sir! And I suppose I would vote for what you tell me, no? Ha!" She was trying to hide the awkwardness with pretending to take it as a joke, but beneath it she was serious.
He chucked a little with her before he said, while maintaining his smile I think you'd do well. I think you would find it far more...stimulating than the Military and I think you'd have the real chance to do some good. He moved away towards a nearby table which held a bottle of wine which he poured into a small glass Naturally, you will find the game of politics vastly different from that of the Armed Forces, know then that we, and I, would be more than happy to...professionally guide you, should the need arise, should you decide to run for parliament. He drank the red liquid down quickly You stand in the household where Bretonian Politics are discussed all the time. I believe this is the type of environment which is expected to produce a politician, don't you?
Elizabeth took a fan out of her dress and, as if about to pass out, started frantically waving it in front of her face. She leaned onto a book shelf. "Wait.. Are you serious? And what would you gain from that?"
He walked over to her, wordlessly taking her by the hand and leading her to a couch where he sat next to her. We would gain a chance to be of service my dear. Consider, Parliament united with the security services, what could be achieved would last a lifetime if implemented properly He once again took her by the hand, holding it gently Bretonia is now on the brink, soon the political infighting will start, and even if we win it'll start as well. Infighting only ever divides us, soon, one way or another, Bretonia will become a house to be feared, but to be effective, it needs to be united. Parliament is the only place where that can start. With you there, so much could be done. Your father's legacy would survive and you would have surpassed him in so many ways, your background would be hidden. You are our ward, under our protection and nothing my dear, nothing, will harm you so long as you are.
She suddenly folded the fan and took up a determined and confident business attitude. Usually she would make a great thing out of Edmund touching her hand, but the current matter cast that into the background. "Very well, if it is so. The Royalist Party, I suppose? Can a commoner even be a member? Or shall I just be independent?"
His eyes narrowed You are not a commoner. You are a ward of House Steiner, and they will be reminded of that fact if they decide to challenge it. You have yourself the bearing of a noble woman, the support of a noble family and the name of a great Hero. I trust you can do what needs be done?
