The clouds were hiding the moon when Loriel finally got up and summoned the royal physician to consult him in private at the king's residence and in his study. This time, Elise was truly asleep and could not hinder the meeting with her endless tears and begging.

It was a meeting that made Zaff the royal physician wary. However, it was something that perhaps only a king who ruled and made decisions for the better of his people could actually consider.

Making decisions that were for the good of his wife, even if she detested it and hated him for it. That was how a king often ruled, thinking of his people and their best interests in heart despite it not always appearing that way. 

Those were the things that Loriel had in mind when he convinced himself that this was the only way. Even if Elise were to grow to hate him for what he was going to do, at least it meant her survival.
