His love for her never seemed to fade, even as he begun to grow older and more weak. She would not deny that it pained her to see him in such a state, even if he seemed content, as though he was embracing his inevitable fate. But the smile on her muzzle was genuine, and she could not contain her sincere joy at the sight of him. Walking and alert, coming to her as she called him, for she needed him badly. "I wanted to see you," she said simply, warmly, as that was more important than almost anything else to her. To ensure that he was okay. "I wasn't sure if you knew what happened at the meeting, father. I've relinquished the throne to Chrysanthe. I just wanted you to understand that there is nothing more I would like than to rule Valhalla. It has always been my dream, but..." she paused, considering how to frame her thoughts. A gentle nuzzle was given to the side of his neck, the compassion she felt for her father as evident as ever. "Chrysanthe would not have been happy with Maverick. And I, father, have met him before. And I have fallen for him. I'll be going to Seracia soon to ask Gerhardt if he minds the change of brides, and if he doesn't, I'll be going to Seracia as their Princess soon, following the wedding." Would he be disappointed? Upset? How could he be, when Chrysanthe was such a perfect leader? |
