Who wouldn’t have done the same?
Imagine your husband
sacrificing your daughter
to rescue(?) your beautiful sister.
Now tell me you wouldn’t have
crept into his chamber. The
only question is whether to
conceal or brandish
the blade
before burying it
in his heart, allowing you
to bury him beside
your daughter,
dead by his hand.
His beard was red
before the bloodshed.
