Rating: PG
Notes: 100 words. Written for my claim at esper_cave, themes #1. Reasons 12. Choices 19. Honour 27. Intentions 86. Loyalty
Summary: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The trial is a farce. Everyone in the room knows the verdict before her court-martial is called to order. Leo taught her to act with honour, and what the Empire is doing is not an honourable thing. She sees in Leo's eyes that he recognizes it, but she knows that his own honour will not permit him to give any verdict but "guilty."
She was trying to avoid more bloodshed, but Gestahl chooses to make a statement by slaughtering four villages. She knows it is to punish her for her betrayal.
Gestahl sentences her to die on her eighteenth birthday.
