Chapter 69 Promises And Pacts

• From the balcony, my mate and I spoke.
• "I'm not going to wash dishes, or scrub floors and cook just to please your mother.'' I said to Kaelan, after he and I sneaked out of his room first thing in the morning to avoid an awkward encounter with our friends. "If your mother, the queen, ends up not liking me, I won't bend over backwards to impress her. After Elian, I will never throw myself at the mercy of my inlaws.''
• "That was never an expectation. I want you to just be Seraphine. You can be mean if you want to, can be a fighter, you can be whoever you want in this marriage. You can do whatever you want."
