Alright, Lady Felicity Chandlish is renowned for her polite and civil manner. She'll talk to me.
CB: Thank you for agreeing to this interview.
Felicity: You are most welcome. With all the negative publicity the Protectorate is putting out, this will give everyone the chance to know us as people.
CB: Who are the Protectorate? I've heard the name, but know very little about them.
Felicity: They are a group that reports directly to the Prime Minister, Cassandra Sylvester. Their leader is Richard DeGuire and they've become something of a thorn in our sides recently.
CB: As a lawyer, how do you feel about the rash of new laws they have passed in the Prime Minister's name?
Felicity: It is unfortunate. Florence has always been a nation built on the idea that together we can overcome any obstacle. Now, thanks to The Protectorate, our country has become divided. I fear they will stop at nothing short of war.
CB: Doesn't the prospect of war worry you? Isn't Valentria outnumbered?
Felicity: Of course we wish to avoid conflict if at all possible. A civil war benefits nobody. As for being outnumbered, yes, I suppose we are. But we have allies the Protectorate are unaware of, and of course there's Raven.
CB: Raven? Your sister? How can one person turn back an entire war?
Felicity: *smiles mysteriously* She's a lot stronger than she lets on.
CB: I see. Thank you for your time Lady Chandlish.
