@seorin I'm not sure about that though, unless the wording was just off.
He said Marcus will confess to killing Ebony's father to reduce his sentence, but he then said "normally the entire family would be eradicated, but instead Marcus will be executed and the family will lose its title and land"
If Marcus is being executed, how is his sentence being reduced? I figured the reduced sentence was the fact that they won't murder the rest of his family. So if he didn't confess they would kill them all.
