She quickly added, "But don't worry, it won't involve switching sides, helping us seize the throne, or anything like that."

"Can't you just state it clearly, Marlene?" Broken pressed, still not entirely convinced.

"Can't," she responded firmly. "Because I don't know exactly what I'll want yet, or maybe that desire hasn't come to me yet."
