[Richard observed Charles reaction to his confession. He managed to catch the glimpse of the darkness, one that he had not seen reflected on the youth's eyes before. And that's when he could not hold back a smile forming to his lips as he felt, perhaps for the first time ever, genuinely proud of Charles. Yes. He truly was his subject. Their souls were together, after all.]

Thank you, Charles. I promise I will never forget the loyalty and friendship you have offered to me here tonight by promising to safeguard this dark secret.

[The death of previous king Henry the Sixth had been clouded in a mystery for years. The public, of course, had spread the whispers about what truly had occurred, often looking culprit among Plantagenet family. Hadn't there been a rumor spreading within the streets of London? That it was Richard who had killed the last Lancaster king -- that he would kill even a God if He chose to be his enemy.

Charles was now the third person who Richard shared the truth with. First one had been the Duke of Buckingham and second Silco. All three men allowed to have glimpse to the dark secrets, while still being denied the most important part. Yes, Richard had killed Henry. But he, too, had died that night in the chapel. It was then when he had made the decision never to open himself to another person ever again, never to be fooled by the kindness of others. Never to hope ever again.

And yet.. He was here again.]


Now.. As for 'my relationship.' It is hardly what you are implying here, Charles. You are correct to assume that Silco is not a man who will express kindness or genuine interest in others outside of his daughter. The man holds no affection of any kind towards me. We have merely done business together. And I do believe that it is in his intent to benefit from my current wealth and position in this city. Any inquiry towards my person or past are not to be trusted.

Do not let him fool you, Charles.
