"Because you're the fucking Queen," he said as though it were obvious. "And I don't just mean the title of it or your birthright. That display today, you leading the attack on those men... you're more of a Queen than your brother will ever be a King. As much as I would have loved to see you cower before the men running at you in an attempt to kill you, the fact remains that you battled them with more ferocity than even my own Second. You deserve someone who matches that, someone who will treat you with such equality and recognizes your true core. You deserve nothing less than someone who would burn this kingdom to the ground for your salvation."
