|

—And so what if I have! Kralvin seemed to bristle in anger.
|
||||
I'm not ashamed to fight for what I believe in, _sir_, letting the sir fall from his mouth like a particularly rotten fruit.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin felt his stomach roaring with flame at the insubordination, but he forced himself to take some deep breaths until it mellowed to a low simmer.
|
||||
|
||||
—Sergeant Kralvin, you don't think I remember you?
|
||||
That I don't remember your parents?
|
||||
I do fight for what I believe in.
|
||||
I fight for the people who the Republic should be fighting for.
|
||||
And if you have a problem with the way I do so, it is your right as a citizen of Galvarelli to tell me that you have that problem.
|
||||
However, at the same time, I have expectations for you as member of my Guard.
|
||||
This will be the last time something like this happens, understood?
|
||||
|

Kralvin stared at him, unmoving.
|
||||
|
||||
—President Calvin, you were too ashamed to help my parents to let me do it in uniform.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin felt like he'd been punched in the gut.
|
||||
|
||||
—Son, I understand.
|
||||
I really do.
|
||||
There are compromises we make.
|
||||
But that's not what this is about.
|
||||
If you're angry with me about that, then fine, tell me so.
|
||||
Anyway, we were here to ask for Mountberg's help, and they're here now.
|
||||
There will be a way to figure this out.
|
||||
You're dismissed.
|
||||
Send Vaughan in.
|

|
||||
Kralvin turned on his hooves and left.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin thought about the New Voice he'd heard a few hours ago.
|
||||
Supporting those he was meant to serve.
|
||||
If the New Voice was pushing him to support the farm animals, that might mean that helping the farm animals would indeed be bad for the Meadowlark.
|
||||
Exactly, as the Hierarchy rhetoric claimed.
|
||||
Calvin smashed a hoof into the ground.
|
||||
If Yakaterina knew the New Voice would say that, she could have just planted the idea of opposing the New Voice to force Calvin into supporting her bigotry.
