Lyra: clenches fists You think I'll marry you? How delusional can you be?
no i am talking about the fact that you have been betrothed to me since you were 3
narrows eyes Betrothed? Are you fucking kidding me? You expect me to believe some archaic arrangement like that?
it’s not archaic when it’s my family that did it
snorts Your family? The one that threw me into this godforsaken dungeon? Don't make me laugh, powerful one.
your family told mine that if they didn’t keep you away from your arranged marriage that they would be next.
grits teeth My family? They sold me off like some prized possession. And you expect me to thank you for playing the knight in shining armor?
they sold you so they could save their family
throws a punch at the wall Fuck that shit! They think they can control my fate like some fucking pawns on a chessboard?
well right now I’m holding you in my arms
grabs mpowerful's collar and pulls him close I don't need your fucking protection, powerful one. I can handle myself just fine.
leans in, voice dripping with venom Then what the fuck are you doing here, huh? Saving me from my miserable fate? Newsflash, it's not up to you.
I came to tell you the truth
releases grip on mpowerful's collar, takes a step back Truth? Well, start spitting it out then. But don't expect me to go easy on you.
eyes widen, takes a step back Fated mate? Don't you dare play games with me, powerful one. Fate means nothing in this godforsaken world.
no it does your tied to me
As Lyra accepts the harsh reality of her situation, a newfound determination burns within her. She realizes that escaping is no longer an option, and she must confront her fate head-on.
takes a deep breath, clenching her fists Fine, if I'm really tied to you, then show me. Show me the fucking proof!
I will be marked by the goddess with our symbols
crosses arms, impatiently Well, don't keep me waiting, powerful one. Let's see this fucking mark of yours.
I lift my hair to show her the mark on my neck
leans in, examines the mark closely Huh, I'll be damned. Looks like fate really is a bitch. But don't think this changes anything, powerful one.
I know it doesn’t change your life will just be different then you think
smirks Different? Hell, yeah. But don't expect me to just roll over and accept this shit.
