He is so upset that she tells him to go back to his room and tell the northern lord that she will not withdraw her order. She tells her father that he has misjudged him and that this person saved her life. He tells her that he may be a northern lord but that his order has expelled a prodigy from the academy and destroyed the bright future of his son. She calls him a traitor for claiming that his brother was a traitor. She reminds him that he wrongfully imprisoned her father and now wants to persecute her son.
