[To call the actions of Richard's father one of usurper's is not far from the truth, no matter how Yorks tried to rationalize it with bloodlines and divine rights. And Richard, himself, for sure was one - stealing the light away from the his own family and painting his nephews as nothing but false prophets. Poor children born from own woman' wickedness.
But just like always. When the topic shifted to his father the smartest thing one could do is tread carefully or remain quiet.]
Heh.. [A soft, melancholic laughter leaves from Richard, his eyes still seeing nothing but the crate on the desk.] But I was not third in the line. I was as far as away from the crown as he was. Yet.. He chose me rather than himself. Even after finding out the truth about me.. He still stood by my side. [Buckingham also could have had a claim for the throne, even if it was not nearly as strong or obvious as Richard's. But surely a cunning man like him would have turned black into white and vice versa if he so truly wanted.
Richard then turned to look up from the crate, eyes landing on the other man still sitting on the couch.] Why do you think he choose to do something like that?
