I don’t want to hurt you, but I don’t want to repeat history.
Out of all the people you could have slept with, did it have to be one of my ladies? One of my closest friends?
I am with child. Our child, at last!
I’ve come to offer you something. The destruction of our mutual enemy.
Cold passion mixed with your warm blood was to bind you to me. My spirit is inside you as yours is inside mine.
Ruling requires that your hands be drenched in blood.
You are my husband and my king.
You crushed the rebellion by yourself.
If we die, it is at her hands. And if we live I will never forgive her for this.
I’m saying that should anything happen to either of us I hope that you’ll remember me not as the man who lied or betrayed you, I hope you’ll remember me as the man who would have cherished you if he’d had the chance.
And real love never fades, not truly.
Just know whatever happens, this is not the end I dreamed for us.
I refuse to surrender. My reign will not end without a fight.
Whose blood concerns you more, your husband or your lover’s?
All that stands between him and the crown is my head.
Whatever happens to him, it’s over. I will never see him again.
You say that as if somehow, I’ve won. But how can it be over when he’s still ingrained in your heart? You will always see him just as I will always see you. Naked, in each others’ arms.
Is this how it’s going to be from now on? Both of us constantly wondering what the other is up to?
Just don’t expect a fond farewell from me. Or my trust. Ever again.
Do not test my power and do not tempt my fury.
If I’m as responsible as you say, I will never forgive myself.
I never imagined you’d kill him by breaking his heart.
The truth of your betrayal was the last thing that he heard before he collapsed.
I will spill blood to defend what’s mine.
You are a necessary evil whose orbit I can’t seem to escape.
But you have to know, that no matter your choices, you still have a husband who would do anything to make you happy.
I opened my heart to a liar.
Build a future controlled by you, not the changeable heart of a woman.
I’m sorry we’ve come to this.
But if you sincerely believe that your best path to healing is at his side, I will not stand in your way.
I have to fight every instinct I have pulling me toward you. When I’m near you I am aware of every breath you take and when I am away even the wind in the trees reminds me of you.
You say that I can be free, open to another. But without you my heart is closed as tight as a fist.
Because I love you. And one of us should be happy.
There are those who merely believe they have power, and there are those who actually have it.
Oh, is that caring? It sounds to me like a man trying to tighten his grip on a woman.
Congratulations, you’ve used your knowledge of the heart’s noblest emotion to manipulate and destroy someone.
What we once had was so natural. I miss how easy it was. We’d make love and fall asleep in each other’s arms like branches growing together.
I don’t feel strong. I feel like I’m sleepwalking and I don’t know how to wake up.
If your heart wants to sleep, let it. Many things can be forced out of duty, but not the heart.
Look where that love has brought us.
I wanted to one kind of King, and then I was forced to be another. Now I cannot go back.
You are my life and I love you.
I feel this nation is burning and I am the man who lit the match.
I love you. You do know that, no matter what I’ve done.
Are you prepared to die for this marriage?
I have lost all faith in you and the man I thought you were.
Oh spare me your lies and excuses! You’re not the man that I fell in love with and you’re not the King I want to rule beside. You are a coward!
I gave you a chance, I waited for the man I fell in love with to return, but that man is dead and I am finished waiting for him!
Do not seek to take before I can give.
No matter what happens, I love you.
Unfortunately, my husband isn’t giving me what I want, so I’ve come to ask you instead.
I need to handle this on my own and to do it my way. What I need from you is to be patient and to believe in me.
Take a stand, my love. I’ll take it with you.
The word can be dark and uncertain and cruel. The only thing that matters is that we face it together. No matter what happens, you are my light.
