"He was... he was hurting her... he stabbed her, see, and I- and I- I fought him off- I had to kill him, I had to- but it- it was too late for her..."
He sniffled and wiped his nose with the back of his hand.

*She looked from Steerpike to halidr, as if unable to say anything*

*Haldir was too heartbroken to see Mrs. Lovett's reaction. Tearbird... the only woman he had ever loved.... and now she was dead......*
"I told her I would die for her" *He whispered as a warm tear trickled down his cheek.* "And I wasn't even there when she...."

*Haldir straightened his back.*
"We don't have a successor to the throne." *He said.* "But we could find a hero to take the throne."

Steerpike twisted his hands wretchedly.

*Haldir looked tired. More tired than he had ever been. He sighed.*
"Right. A plan. I'll get my men to search the castle tomorrow. But now I need some time alone. If you will excuse me...."
*He stood.*

*Haldir smiled.*
"I know you didn't. There will be a crisis meeting among the High Elves this afternoon. I will put in a good word for you. Then we'll se how this will turn out. I will come back to inform you later."

*Haldir smiled and patted him on the shoulder.*
"Try to cheer up a bit. The death of the King would have happened sooner or later anyway.... By the way, don't go anywhere in the nearest future. I'll come back after the meeting."
*He opened the door and left.*

As soon as Haldir was gone, Steerpike slowly turned back to Mrs Lovett, grinning fiendishly.

"You have to feel sorry for the man. Oh well, the king probably would have done it sooner or later."
