Bab 192: Let's Pair Up!

Laina was quite surprised by the vampire's straightforward question. In fact, it was a refreshing change from her subjects and ministers.

"I see Kol and Margaret as my equals, despite their social statuses in society," Laina explained. 

"Traditions and rules are things we abide by but when times change, so should we. Kinshearth holds the traditions of the old in high regard, but the world around us shifts and changes."

Laina placed her hand over her heart as she continued, "As their future Queen, it is my duty to ensure the survival of my people. The need to break away from tradition is necessary. 

If I am not the one to spearhead the changes, who will?"

Florin was impressed by Laina's answer. He could not help but applaud her, and so he did.

"That is a fantastic answer, your Highness. I am impressed. If more monarchs were like you, this world we live in would be a much better place."
