"I've bled for this kingdom for years. Every scar I have, every hole in my heart comes from protecting this kingdom. Don't you dare try to talk to me about blood."

    "Of course I don't want it!" he yelled, furiously beating the walls, oblivious of the danger that was quite literally falling towards them, "all I want - all I've ever wanted is for my sacrifices to be worth it. So take your damn crown. It's yours. But, a word of warning for the lost queen," he sneered, "if you fail this kingdom, I will slit your throat. And then, your stupid blood debt will be paid."
