Never would I have thought that I would be asking Malcolm on how the execution of my greatest thane is progressing, but here I am. I entrusted him with full control of Cawdor and what does he do? He switches sides mid-battle and starts mocking us with the devilish flag of the opponent. It shatters my heart to see (who I thought was) a fellow royal deceive me in such blunt fashion. He was practically my other son; Malcolm even treated him as a brother. He is a betrayer, that is true, but I thought much higher of him. He was the person that I worried least about; I had put all my faith into him and his decisions. Loyal since day one, he would show you and me the greatest of respect. His leadership skills could be matched by few; he fit the role as thane perfectly. He had a physical build that would scare the best of warriors yet he had a face so innocent it would make the angels jealous. My ideology on this issue can only be summarized like the following, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face. He was a gentleman on whom I built an absolute trust.” To think that he just confessed his treasons, and is now asking for my forgiveness is absolutely sickening. He has betrayed us all, and we will make him pay. We, here in Scotland, do not take treason lightly. We will strike him and his associates the way we stroked the Norwegians, with brute force and we will not feel even an ounce of remorse. We must send a clear message that we do not, repeat NOT, let the dishonourable walk free. Be a thane or a peasant, it does not matter, a traitor is a traitor. I must admit, though, this is harder than I originally thought when I first heard of the news. How could we let someone of that nature slide under our noses? I am part responsible and for that I am truly apologetic for my misinterpretation, but we must forget and move on. We cannot let one traitor undermine the actual result of the battle in which we were victorious. We are entering a new era, and we are progressing on a positive path full of prosperity and peace; we must never forget this.
Music Lyrics that Relate to Me (Avenged Sevenfold - Betrayed):
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go and throw it all away...
I feel it burn inside, burning me like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
A smoking gun in hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain...
