"If Your Highness wants to kill your husband, you don't need to bother with such tricks."

"Your Highness... what is it you truly want from me?"

"This ruined body... is it worth even a piece of Your Highness's heart?"

"Your Highness... please look at me. please?"
The master strategist, once unyielding and proud, laid down his last defense, choosing to become, willingly, the most obedient piece in her hands.
