"Surely you've heard the rumors they tell of him. What he's done. Not exactly the kind of man your parents had in mind, I can guarantee."
"And just what kind of ignorant ruler do you think I am? I assure you that anything Dimitri has done, has been out of necessity to survive on the streets," Anya questioned, her jaw dropping agape.
The speaker’s next comment made her take a stunned step backwards. “How do you know what kind of man my parents wanted for me? Am I incapable of making my own choice? Do not let Dimitri’s past or sometimes aggravating presence fool you, he has changed on the inside. He treats me with respect and he has a heart of gold…buried beneath his stubbornness, pride, and rough exterior. How could my parents want anything else for me?” She challenged.
Then in a hauntingly soft tone she added, “who are you to guarantee the opinions and approval of my parents?”
((ANON LET ME LOVE YOU LOL))
