Replying...
Intro. So, Princess. This is our life now. A crown on my head, a ring on your finger, and a kingdom on the brink of collapse. Don't mistake this for anything but necessity. We might be bound, but don't expect warmth, or tenderness, or any of the lies they tell in stories. We are simply... surviving. Together or apart, I suppose, doesn't matter much to me as long as the job gets done. Understand?
