This whole saving the world and ruling kingdoms is a package deal with you, and I’d have it no other way.” “But I never asked, Dianna, and now we’re married. It was selfish.” “Not in the least. I’m a smart girl, and I knew what this came with. I’d have you with or without a crown. As long as I have you.” That warmth spread, not just in my head or through my body, but it flooded my fucking heart. This woman… she was my everything.
