“All I desire is a husband who can sit pretty on the throne beside me and keep his mouth shut while I rule. You don’t fit the criteria, Killian. I am not looking for a warrior.” “When the men at court point their swords at your neck princess, you’ll need a warrior by your side instead of a puppet. You won’t be able to get rid of me so easily Amelia. Not when I have made up my mind to have you.” “I am not something for you to simply have Killian.” “Aren’t you?

Whereas Cyrus can protect both of you. I just…I just," Gina paused and took a deep breath. "I just don't like letting you go alone. I'm afraid those people will treat you badly even though you are their queen."
"However," Gina continued. "I understand how much faith you are placing in me to watch over your grandmother and I will accept the task. I always felt like you have only found Cyrus to be useful and I am going to show you how much use I am by watching over your grandmother."
