“I told you. Talwyn and I do not always…agree on matters. My allegiance, Scarlett Monrhoe, is to you, as it was to your mother. I told you I would not leave you alone, so I did not return without you. If you do not want to rule or be queen, that is fine. The choice is always yours, but I will always stand in your court. Always.” “What if I do not want a court? What if I do not want to stay here?” “Then it will be just you and me.”
