The air suddenly went still for a moment.
Arthur lowered his head, as if in thought, and after a brief pause, he said, "I'm not sure if I can make her let go of anything."
The Earl of Liverpool slightly furrowed his brow.
Arthur quickly added, "But perhaps I can arrange a... less sharp opportunity for dialogue. At the right time and place, if you need, I can also accompany you, but as for what the Princess will say or do at that moment, that entirely rests on her own decision."
"That will be enough." The Earl of Liverpool's eyes lit up again, and he patted the silver head of his cane: "Sir Arthur, please understand, I'm not trying to pave a path for Conroy's reinstatement. I merely wish for everything to maintain decorum and propriety on the surface."
