Ocean's Breath Plateau staring into the sun

but wouldn't the expense of myself be marrying a man who seeks only to strengthen his kingdom? she huffs in frustration. i do not wish to extend my hand if it's out of desperation.

perhaps it was the last vestiges of a naive girl, who truly thinks there is such a thing as love, that speaks for racharra now. the teenager she will be in less than a month from now. but she wishes to find it more now than ever before. she doubts she'll find it in a marriage only for politics. no, she'll have to find it for herself beyond the veil of nobility.

send word i reject the proposal, but i'm willing to find other means of allegiance. voice firm, she gives out a sharp exhale as she settles in her seat. perhaps the same agreement. i'll have my own wealth, but not at the cost of a marriage gone to waste.
