Florence is part of the entire reason this problem exists. The queen actually considering this whole deal with a man is part of what is giving the princess some actual fodder to fight with, which was something not immediately revealed because I don't reveal all information to allow for some cultural pratfalls. :pAlso, while the mission implies that negotiation is part of the job, the first and foremost objective is ferreting out any potential sources of corruption involving the queen, a significant portion of finding corruption is through one on one discussions or investigations--more akin to a than a . Later on though your diplomatic skills will definitely come in handy in swaying people one way or the other based on what evidence you might find.However, something to consider.You didn't completely fail in your task either. Your approach did work in an unorthodox manner, you showed your sincerity and managed to convince a of your importance. So much so that she now wants to talk with you. In private. About ferreting out evidence related to the corruption of the queen.So yeah. I wouldn't worry. I'd say you succeeded, just not in the way you quite intended.That is the assumption one could derive yes. Could of course mean something else entirely. She might be asking you to bring some cake and tea.If you flayed the flesh of a limb, like a leg, you might be able to take cripple them further than they already are, but aside from that, no, a whip probably won't kill them unless you could decapitate them with it.
