“My wife isn’t in the palace. She is here, and I can hardly let her spend her first night here alone, now can I?”
“They will rip me apart, Gale. I am not a queen.” I bit back the tears in my eyes. “They will try, but I will not let them close enough to do so,” he replied, gently lifting my chin back up. “Because you are my queen,”
I will not let you burn to keep me warm, but I will burn everything else so you can stay. So stay.”
You are Odette Rochelle Wyntor.
They need you! You do not need them! If anyone ever tries to make you feel inferior, remind them of that.
“You on your worst day is still better than no you at all.
“Do not offer wisdom right now, Odette. I want to complain. Support me in my pity party.”

“How did you know I needed to hear your voice?” “You were pulling on my heartstrings?” “Cheesy.”
You look as breathtaking as always.
“You could shave your head, and I’d still love you, Odette,”

Sophia literally shut up
“This one’s name is Bevilën.”
“Gale has started calling me that.”

“She lost the child.”
Stop
If the king is not present, the Adelaar has that authority.
He was no longer playing the role of the future king. He was being the king.

“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
“When I become a knight, don’t worry, Miss Odette, I’ll protect you,” Leo said, lifting his fist.
He and Miss Wyntor will be here in ten minutes.”
SCREAMINGGGGGGG
“Welcome home, bevilën.”
“Matron of honor? Don’t you mean the mother of the bride?” “As if you have any other best friend but me.”
“You are more than what beauty can describe.”
