The matter of Kaitlyn

"I should remind you of the matter of your half-sister, Kaitlyn" Akina says.

You have never met Kaitlyn, your half-sister through your father. King Bryce had gotten both Akina and Lady Victoria pregnant and had to chose who to marry. Had he married Victoria, Kaitlyn would be the ruling monarch not you. But without airs, if anything were to happen to you, Kaitlyn would be the most likely successor.

"I suggest that we publicly humiliate Kaitlyn" Akina suggests.

"Why not just execute her?" you ask "Why was she not executed for father's ****?"

"Kaitlyn was a literal baby at the time. Her grandfather confessed but I chose to have his daughters publicly humiliated and sent to the covenant as he was likely taking the fall for them. There was no way we could have gotten away with doing the same to a baby"

"Where is Kaitlyn?"

"She was sent to the covenant with her sister and aunt. I should also warn you about her uncle Neron. He was able to escape the country before his sisters were caught. My spies say he has also had a son, who would be Kaitlyn's cousin"

"Neron is no threat" Garret says.

"But Kaitlyn is. Victoria named her after the goddess of fire, war and healing" Akina says.

"She was born as a goddess of healing and argued for peace, mercy and compassion for all the mortal races. To prove the folly of this, her father killed her and had her reincarnated as the daughter of fallen nobles that had been reduced to slaves" Lady Vessa says.

"That was more than thousand years ago. When beast folk were the masters of humans" you note.

"Yes, Kaitlyn regained some of her goddess powers performed healings and preached for peace, mercy and compassion to the oppressed humans. At the age of 18, she was punished by the beast folk who had her brutally flogged, fifty lashes, and then crucified. She was in agony for six days before she died and her soul returned to the realm of the gods. A goddess once again, Kaitlyn returned to earth and waged war against the beast folk, overthrowing them" Vessa says.

"What happened to peace, mercy and compassion?" you ask.

"The suffering that the goddess Kaitlyn endured taught her those things don't work. She learned her father's intended lesson and became a goddess of fire and war and rained **** down on the beast folk, freeing the humans from their bonds to servitude" Vessa says.

"It's just a fairy tail used to justify making beast folk second class citizens" Akina says "But people are rallying behind Kaitlyn, the one that is your half-sister"
