"Eric,' She pleaded softly, resting her head, "let's stop this."
"Stop what?"
"This political play. Let us leave it all. Let's run away and live in the woods."
"What do you mean, stop? Sorine? It has barely even started. Things won't come easy. You would have to be hurt a bit in the process but I will protect you. I'll protect you."
"If it is going to be worse, then I don't want any part of it. Let me leave."
"No, I'm going to make you Queen and you will be there to watch it all."
"..." Sorine silently stared at him for a moment, then she softly whispered, "What if I don't want to be queen?"
"There's no place beside me except being Queen, Sorine. You know I would never give up being King. That, at least, is my birthright."
"Then be King. Be a King without me. I don't wish to take part in this anymore. Let me leave."
