He chuckled a little at her outrage.  "Silly girl you think your words can hurt me or even have an effect besides possibly getting you hurt.  Not that I owe you an explanation you insolent little bitch but she came to me willingly.  Our money combined made us a powerful Lord and Lady and that attracted her more than such a trivial thing as love.  When I became obsessed with over throwing your parents she suddenly grew a conscious and was working against me once I took the throne.  So naturally I poisoned her...she never thought it was me that was killing her as she laid there on her deathbed gasping for our worthless son."
