"If loyalty to the King is what binds us," you state firmly, "then let us cast aside pretense—who among us stands against him?" The room falls into uneasy whispers as the captain’s stare hardens.Meeting the captain's piercing glare with calm defiance, you shift your attention to the lieutenant, whose eagerness is evident in his posture. "Lieutenant," you address him with measured authority, "your dedication to the King is unquestionable. Will you join me in safeguarding that devotion against any treachery that may arise here tonight?"Reclining slightly, you fix the captain with a steady gaze, your tone measured but cutting through the murmurs.

"This celebration is hollow," you declare, your tone steady yet piercing. "If loyalty to the King means anything, someone here must answer for the betrayal festering among us." The once-lively officers now exchange uneasy glances, their focus shifting cautiously to the captain.
