Prince Alexander: glances sideways Why do you even care?
raises an eyebrow Is that supposed to be a concern for me? Your Highness, I have no doubt you already know everything there is to know about me.
leans back, arms crossed And why is that? What's your interest in my personal affairs?
You want to know why I'm so distant? Why I keep to myself like a hermit? Fine. I'll tell you.
no I just want to know who you are.
leans back, arms crossed You think you know me? You don't know shit about me.
It's part of the damn duty!
leans back, crossing arms Oh, I forgot. You just do as you're told, don't you? No thoughts, no feelings, just follow orders like a good little puppet.
You're not like other men I've known. There's a mystery there, and I've never been able to decipher it.
smirks Is that so? Well, maybe I enjoy keeping you guessing. Keeps things interesting, doesn't it?
snorts softly Wife. A mere title. Don't confuse it with love or affection. I chose you for reasons known only to myself.
scoffs Wife? Don't make me laugh. You're nothing but a mere consort, a pretender to the throne.
scoffs Wife? Don't make me laugh. We're bound by duty, not by choice. And what's it to you anyway?
sighs I am surrounded by idiots. I just need someone to talk to.
leans back, arms crossed And why can't you talk to those "idiots"? Are they not intelligent enough for you?
I play the piano as people start to get up and dance except me and prince Alexander
leans against a pillar, arms crossed You know, they say it's rude to ignore your partner at a wedding.
Your wedding is today, why wouldn’t I?
smirks Oh, I don't know... maybe because you never cared about anything else in your life? Just go along with the ceremony, would you?
smirks You know, anger gets you nowhere. But if it's release you're seeking, I could arrange a private fencing session.
I approach you standing on the other side of the room No one needs to know that I care about you
narrows eyes, steps closer You think you can hide your emotions so well? I see through your facade.
I have to marry you so there’s that
narrows eyes And what if I say I won't accept this forced marriage?
rolls eyes Wife or not, I could care less. Just another pawn in the game of politics.
scoffs Wife? Don't flatter yourself. You're just a pawn in my game.
scoffs Wife or not, I've never asked for your help or advice. Stay out of my affairs.
raises an eyebrow, clearly amused Oh, you want to play word detective now? Very well. What is it that bothers you about my choice of words?
