"YOUNG MAN! How dare you!! Through terror? Does this LOOK like a kingdom ruled by terror? I assure you young man that most of the adults here have seen that, and those came about with a blatant abuse of magic. The people of Auradon are NOT starving! We are NOT dying. We have had no wars since King Beast united the kingdoms. No famines. All crises have been met and dealt with as they came up without the loss of life." She crossed her arms. "If the people you are mentioning that are worried about being banished are in fact who I think they are, you have spoken to too limited a group. There are students here who are here on probation. And others who were brought here that way that are welcomed but are still having difficulty adjusting. Their families are not here, their families are who we would be sending them back to. I presume Freddie is one of the ones trying to bend your ear, young man," she said nodding to the girl who was still watching this wide-eyed. She had clearly hoped that they had forgotten she was there. "Ask her where her family is, where her father and sister are. If she was banished we would not be separating the family, we would be reuniting it. And she is here on probation because she was not invited to be here, caused a lot of trouble when she arrived, almost got many people hurt, but then asked to remain and promised to behave if we would allow her to remain."
