Clara: Well?
Ana: What?
Clara: I do hope that there is nothing going on between the two of you.
Ana: Can’t I have some choice over who I date?
Clara: You are the future Queen and you must be aware that you end up marrying determines how both sides of the family are viewed.
Ana: I understand that, but I want to be with someone who actually makes me happy.
Clara: Didn’t Peter make you happy? Didn’t Peter love you? Wasn’t Peter ready to propose?
Ana: Funny enough, Peter didn’t love me, because he was cheating on me.
Clara: Well, you must have done something to make him cheat on you. The Gathens are a good family. You go and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Gathen at once for your…
Ana: No.
Clara: I beg your pardon?
Ana: No Grandmama. I’m not apologizing to them. ‘Cause Peter cheated on me. I didn’t do anything. He cheated on me. I dumped him and I’m much happier now. Whether you like it or not, Douxie is my boyfriend now, so you’ll just have to suck it up and deal with it.
Clara: That boy will bring nothing good to you or your family. I highly suggest you find a Viscount or Lord to marry instead.
Ana: You have your ideas, I have mine.
