"Perhaps you should consider it, marrying William Alexander Thomas the third. It could do you good, not a position in Leilani but here... in America. Think about it Your Majesty" said Lady Yara when we were sitting on the porch during our evening tea.
"I can't" I said " His father owns slaves, meaning he also owns slaves and I don't know him that much to be marrying him"
"You didn't know that much about your husband did you? But yet, you still married him"
"Yishen was different, he was the love of my life. This is just confusion, and I married him for love. We were in love, if I marry this William Alexander Thomas the third, it would be just because I seek validation and safety, but not love"
"Honey, we all seek validation and safety. Why do you think I'm marrying Hàoyǔ for? I need safety from him, a woman living without a name in a country like America is the most dangerous thing trust me"
