Greetings. This is a simple request to not execute the aforementioned prisoner as I worry about his extreme need for that outcome and expect he has a plan for that occasion, especially due to the ease of which he was captured.

The Queen 's decision will not be made until she has had a chance to interview the prisioner, but I will tell you Brightlord that he will most likely be executed. Alenelin wrote back.

That is completely unnecessary. I promise that execution of this prisoner can only be harmful.

On the contrary Brightlord, do you know how hard it is to contain a Radiant?

Even with aluminum it is impossible to ensure their imprisionment. In trying to contain him we have doubled the number of guards stationed at the palace, but that isn't sustainable. We need the extra men on hand in case another riot breaks out, I won't say it is impossible for her Majesty to spare him, just unlikely, I trust if executing him would do more harm than good the queen will spare him.

Okay, I kind of feel like there would be a prison designed for radiants, especially Skybreakers. 

Also, what do you mean aluminum can't contain them? I feel like all you have to do is make sure no Stormlight gets anywhere near them, which should not be difficult.

Locks can be picked and they have a tool you can't take away, I actually have a thread from a while back where we go over how hard it is to imprision a Radiant if you want to see it.

That's a good point. However, could you not use an oubliette-style cell where the entire bottom part is coated in aluminum and the only exit is the ceiling? If you really want to be safe, have the hole be covered by solid stone. If you really, REALLY want to be safe, you could have like three people with spears guarding the top, so if they somehow get out with like a shardladder or something, they could just stab him back down with little risk of retaliation.

It is an Oobliete,

You can make it hard I'm not denying that, but there is always a threat of escape, not just a possibility but a threat.

One slipup and it's all over.

Yeah, but that's just... Every prison. For anyone. Not just radiants. 

Also, how many extra guards did you give this dude that it'll hinder any attempt to stop a riot?

Radiants have extra chances, and are immediatly dangerous, if a normal person escapes they are still just a person without a weapon. If a Radiant escapes then you have a neigh immortal warrior with a instant death weapon to deal with.

And Kholinar is a large city, esspecially with the increased Singer population that would be left over,

I don't think it causes much of a problem, but that's just me.

Uh... Okay.

I see. Well, once Queen Jasnah returns, I would like to speak with her. Good day.

Don't be afraid to question me, I just don't think I'm wrong here.

I will let her know you wish to speak with her. Thank you for your concern Brightlord.

Kyt grumbles and stands. "Well that didn't go well."  He turns to Cess. "So, the queen thinks it would be too much trouble to keep that singer imprisoned, but I think they have a plan that relies on that. What do you think?"

She looked at him for a moment before looking over her shoulder. "Are you asking me?" She said sounding both shocked, and baffled.

Sorry for the number times I pinged you can today. I'm pretty sure you are in every RP I'm in.

"Exactly. And he seems to really, really want to be executed, which if he has ulterior motives, cannot be allowed to happen. And he's certainly not going to give up these motives without us going to places I don't want to go."

"Maybe he's trying to convince you to not have him executed. It's what I would do in that situation." She said it really seriously.

"Reverse psychology, then? I don't know. If he didn't want to get executed, he shouldn't of let himself get captured so easily in the first place."

"This isn't politics, though. This is just trying to get into someone's head. So think about it- what motivation could he have to get executed? Or at least get near it?"

"The issue isn't the power of the individual. The issue is that these singers have been at war for years and possibly lost more than us, but then the moment they get peace and acceptance they immediately drive us back into war? Ridiculous."

She paused. "Have you seen the way Singers are treated around here? I wouldn't exactly call it acceptance. Of course, they'd probably act differently if they saw a Radiant..."
