Queen of All Quotes

“If I keep you here, you will die in four days as you said, with all the rest. I would take my life in that moment to be at your side in the ever-after.

It has always belonged to you. My heart is yours.”
― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Queen of All

He watched her, his face free of anything but a kind of passive acceptance edged in grief. She hung there silently, wide-eyed and unsure of what to do. “I take this to mean you are upset with me,” he said after letting her inability to answer hang in the air for a long moment. He still didn’t move to stop her. “Do it, if you must. My life is yours to spend. Now, as it always has been, and ever will be, my love.”
― Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Queen of All
