TRANSCRIPT:
panel 1: The Priomh faces Marek and continues from the last page: "But the purpose of a king is to make difficult decisions during difficult times."
panel 2: Marek looks down, sort of pouting. Marek: "Yeah, I know..."
panel 3: The Priomh nervously sweats. This is not working.
panel 4: She sits beside him, looking very out of place in the more relaxed environment. Priomh: "I have been your advisor since you took the throne. As I advised your father, much as I could anyways."
panel 5: The Priomh stares forward, continuing: "I had intended to push the responsibility of advising a child to someone else, but as time went by I suppose I..."
panel 6: Marek watches her with a raised eyebrow as she finishes. Priomh (off-screen): "Became somewhat emotionally attached." "To the position" she clarifies.
panel 7: We see a side shot of them facing the water garden. The Priomh continues: "Your parents are gone. And I have no intention of becoming a stand-in for them. But as your advisor.."
panel 8: "You are able to conceptualize the larger picture of Cadia's future and work towards it. Which taking care to ensure the stability of Cadia today." The Priomh matter-of-factly states as Marek looks at her, surprised by her being complimentary.
