It caused him to roll away from the other women. Grunting, he looked around for something he could use to bridge the gap. Pausing as the further instructions filtered through to them, he groaned.
Sighing, he looked at Amalia. For a long moment, he didn't say anything. Then he spoke quietly and slowly, as if the words were being dragged out of him. "I killed my father because he was going to betray the rest of my family and sell us to our enemies for his own safety."

Saiden confesses to Amalia that he killed his father to protect his siblings.
