15 Days Until the Mission Deadline…
Frey Starlight collapsed unconscious before both the princess and Oliver Khan.
Without hesitation, Sansa rushed to tend to him, doing what she could to stop the bleeding.
"He's lost a lot of blood… was all of this really necessary?" she asked.
"He broke the law. And he's paid the price."
It was necessary. Frey understood that well ... that much had become clear to the masked Warden during their brief encounter.
That confrontation had been more psychological than physical. Frey was capable of so much more, yet he allowed Oliver to wound him without much resistance.
In doing so, Frey conveyed his willingness to cooperate… to remain on the Grand Warden's good side. If he'd resisted in earnest, their clash could've brought the entire castle down.
Oliver ultimately decided to allow Frey to meet the princess again ... though only under his watchful eye.
Perhaps, just perhaps, this would help pull her out of her growing darkness.
