“Why do you care so much? Leonidas murdered your queen.” “Raven is my queen. Celestina was my sister-in-law, and I loved her. I wanted to avenge her death; the best way I could do that was to protect Raven. When Mira suggested binding our kingdoms together, I thought that would be a good way to settle it. Make it right. But then I started noticing traits in Mira that I saw in Celestina. She wants revenge. Raven is the best way for her to get that.” “And Leonidas became your friend.”
