"Because I could," Kaid replied smoothly, his voice as unshakable as stone. "You are my Queen, Livia. I don't need you trembling whenever I am trying to ask a question"
Meliora blinked, realizing with a start that, yes, the nerves that had twisted her stomach into knots only moments before had suddenly vanished. But just as quickly, the fear returned, that she finally kissed the king.

"There's something you don't understand," she sighed as she pushed herself off the floor and walked towards the couch, "That man, Valeb… we grew up together."
