"We can assume that to be Dominus Patrick's lover," Verdant said. "If we piece together the information that we have gained so far. It is a name mentioned with an odd quietness, for the position that she once held. During the time of Dominus Patrick and of Arthur, she was a Princess of the Treeant lands."

"It would make sense for that to be the case," Verdant said. "Her name is practically erased from all spoken knowledge of the time. There's a certain quiet tension around it, which seems to point with a strongness that there's a degree of corruption there."
"...A Princess, though. One that the High King too likely had an interest in?" Oliver asked.
"Indeed, that would seem to be the case," Verdant said.
