Ashes Scatter (RWBY/CKII, After the End)

You awaken some dozen hours following the attempted assassination, room guarded personally by Pantakon and two of his favored officers. "My Queen," he begins, back still ramrod straight and stance still absolutely guarded against intrusion. "The serving boy admitted to accepting a bribe, pointing out your half-brother, Pretender Atlas, as the instigator of the plot. I have ordered both the server and Atlas detained by Marshal Dephis until you woke."

Well, you've been acceptably polite in the past years, despite Atlas' general attitude. Maybe it's time you stopped holding out hope that your half-relatives are going to come around and care again.
