Athena smiled at Roman's response, remembering a time in her life when she had felt that need. That need to rule, to embrace her family's legacy, to do whatever it took to be queen. But for her that had come too hard and too fast. When she went to their father to ask to be heir, she had done it with the assumption that he would be there to groom her into a proper queen, that she would get to watch him rule over Glaciem and stand at his side and learn to be a queen that would make him proud. Instead Isardis had immediately fallen ill and was gone not long after. She was thrown into being a queen at just a year old. It was too much too fast. She was only two and already burned out. Exausted. She had never gotten a chance to really live without responsibility on her shoulders. "Take my place," she said suddenly, her ruby and emerald gaze watching Roman for her reaction. "I need time to breathe, to raise my children in the way that Argent never did for me, to figure out what I really want from my life. I've been queen here since I was really too young to understand what I was doing and had basically had the pack thrown at me even when I was still an heir. I just... I need to take a step back, but I don't want it to go to just anyone. I need someone I can trust. I don't believe Vereux can do it on his own, Talvi is younger than myself and just went off to explore and visit our allies, Haurka isn't family... Roman, I trust you. I've looked up to you for as long as I can remember and you still have that desire to rule. Please, take my throne. Even if it's just for a while... I don't know if I want to rule any more. At least not on my own like this. Maybe... Maybe we can rule side by side? I can handle the day to day things, the inner pack things. Those things I like and they will keep me here with my pups. So... What do you say, sister?" Speech Thought |
