"Father, I wanted to prove myself to you. I never expected that girl to be dangerous! And you know I do not want to marry her. There is no guarantee that she will ascend or even that the public will like her! She has no class. She is sleeping with the gardener!"

Alpin Banfi glared at his son and wished to hit him across the face once more. "You fool! I would have made sure that she rose to the throne.
