I decry the murder of Lady Abbadon and her husband, but you insult the victims by praising their killer. Lord Cadeyrn came to us, seeking protection from his sister, who would like to see him killed just as she had his parents killed.

Some fact-checking of your statement is in order. You profane Cadeyrn's name by calling him a bastard, as he was born of a blessed union between Lady Faustina Abbadon and her husband. A true and legitimate Abbadon.

Secondly, I have raised no army to depose Freya Abbadon. Abbadon soldiers loyal to the true heir have rallied around him.

You now demand that a son whose parents have just been murdered should crawl naked before you? You surely have no soul or any decency in you.

There is no need for bloodshed, if Freya submits to her brother, the true head of the house, it can be avoided entirely. Perhaps he may even forgive her; I cannot speak for him.
