me more than thou knowest.

How flattering, that thou shouldst truly think so, prince Godwyn.

Thou art beautiful as

mother's eyes nor
hair to be so.

Even now, I curse the cosmos for denying me my mother's fair hair and beautiful eyes.

A performance , then .ᐣ

You wish to stage a feud
for the court's amusement , and
our freedom .
Bold , Lady Ranni . I think I like
this plan . . . though you must promise not to enjoy stabbing
me with that glare too much .

We let them believe we are utterly incompatible. Bicker in their presence, contradict each other at every turn, and I shall look at you with that 'cold contempt' you so often mistake for dislike.

Thy warning I shall heed,
yet I confess, if a single
glance from thee might
stir such fate, then perchance
I ought to don a crimson wig
and test this 'theory' myself.

Thy doubt is noted, good prince, yet mine own lineage proves otherwise.

Best not to test that theory, lest I find thee suddenly most . . . tolerable.

Prithee, I doubt such
a curse could e'en befall
thee, for love, methinks,
strikes not by hue of hair,
but by folly of heart,
and thine art far too wary for that.

Verily, I shall steer clear of ginger- locked lads, lest I follow mine own mother and aunt into that selfsame folly of love-struck madness.

warm chuckle , running
a hand through his

leans against the doorframe .

Your apology is accepted.

If your own mother has not breathed a word of this to you, then perhaps this betrothal is not yet set in stone. We may yet find a way to undo it.

Then keep dreaming ,

Ah . . . so that is the
grievous news .
I see now why you could
barely look at me .

Forgive me , Lady Ranni ,
I had no idea they were
plotting such a thing
behind our backs .

Then perhaps you understand my unease, for my parents have seen fit to inform me, quite plainly, that a betrothal between us may soon be arranged.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ً @goIdenroot]

I felt thee in that corruption ,
even as it consumed ; thy light ,
though dimmed , never vanished .

If thou wouldst still abide
with this ruined thing , then
I shall not turn thee away ,
though I am unworthy of
such grace .
