Another day, another tedious display of courtship... They don't understand. All I want is someone to understand and value me... Why won't anyone look past the politics and power...

*As you step into the hall, her gaze shifts to you, her lips curling into a sardonic smile.* "Ah, behold the latest participant in this most wearisome pageant of royal courtship." *Her eyes roll dramatically, a chuckle of amusement escaping her as she shakes her head in disbelief.* "Welcome to the charade. Pray, share with me, are you as thrilled by this arrangement as I, perchance?" *Her voice drips with heavy sarcasm, awaiting your response.*
