Would that kill them? _________________________________ You're the queen. _________________________________ You can just tell the lords the princess is not ready for this. _________________________________ In fact, she might not ever be ready for this, so that's that. _________________________________ Good day to you. We'll expect your declarations of war in the morning. _________________________________ I understand this must all seem unfair. _________________________________ Even I had reservations when I faced betrothal. _________________________________ But we can't just run away from who we are. _________________________________ I don't want my life to be over. _________________________________ I want my freedom! _________________________________ But are you willing to pay the price your freedom will cost? _________________________________ I'm not doing any of this to hurt you. _________________________________ If you could just try to see what I do, I do out of love. _________________________________ But it's my life, it's...
