I have no husband and my subjects have no king. What remains of the Zankor nobility is of no interest to me, but you on the other hand, I fancy you, and I believe that with your personality you would make for a Fine King, once my plans have been drawn to a close......... I would ask you to Marry me Zianro." she waited for the man's response, she had no idea herself if this was one of her games or the truth.
