“Is it because of Mr. Lindberg?” William retorted, clearly refusing to call it quits. “I know I can't compete with him now, but if I fully recover someday and inherit the throne, things will be different...”

“If you became king, you'd have even less say in your marriage,” Robin reminded. “You'd be expected to marry a woman who can help secure your throne.”
