A trecherous friend
OOC: Late season 2
I stood there in disbelief after speaking with Vir... How could this be? Lady Mariel was a friend, a woman I considered to be a sister. I remember the shock that refused to dissipate. Her words of long ago still echoing in my ears. She had promised me that she would never harm him, swore he was below her notice and still… she had betrayed me.
I tried during those hours of travel to think of an excuse, deny that my best friend had taken the step that would destroy my entire universe. We had so much in common, spent so much time together and yet she had still turned on me. I suppose it is to be expected from a woman in the Centauri court.
I couldn’t bear to admit my suspicion but when I walked into med lab, saw him unconscious I knew it was true. My best friend had poisoned the man I love, left him to die.
I have confronted her many times to get the truth. In our society blackmail abounds. I wondered if she had been put into a position where it was her life that was endangered, that she felt trapped and scared. That I could have accepted, especially after Londo woke from the poison and did not, as I believed during the events that transpired, pass away to Morgoth. She continued to lie to me, denied she had anything to do with his poisoning even after I had a telepath scan her and she knew I knew. She still lied, continued the betrayal.
I don’t know if she used me or if she truly always saw me as some disposable element but it showed me that she was not who I believed. She was an enemy, a traitor and worst of all the betrayer of her only friend, the only person she will ever meet who would give what I would to protect her.
