Take reasonability, Gale.
Grow up, Gale.
You’re not a child anymore, Gale.
I was sure one of those would be the way he would have started his reply. I just did not know what he would have said beyond that. So, all I could do was ask myself if this was really love?
Did I love Odette?
Yes. The answer was like thunder and lightning throughout my whole being.
But was my love killing her?
That answer left me hollow.
The queen’s lecture was exactly as I expected, polite, stern, and merciless. But for some reason, I did not even flinch. I was so used to it now that her words barely registered anymore. I replied when she demanded, bowed when she dismissed me, and silently walked back to my room. I was sure Wolfgang said something, but I tuned out everyone and everything and walked and walked until finally, I was alone in my room—my cage.
I stepped out of my heels and pulled the hat off my hair before walking into the bathroom, closing the door behind me gently, and there I saw my reflection but not myself. Turning on the faucet, I let the water run, then moved to the bath and ran the water there. It was then, and only then, I broke down and sobbed.
I cried so hard my legs gave out, and so I knelt, and I wept.

“Abandoned Odette!”
Apparently, the arguments between Prince Galahad and Odette Wyntor have gotten so bad that the Adelaar flew ahead to Southern Helmfeld alone.
Odette Wyntor is left alone in the cold. Sources close to the couple say neither of them has spoken to each other since the garden party and very well may be calling off this engagement.
It would be the shortest engagement in Ersovian history.
