The Rebel's Stolen Princess
“And all that time, you were the reason.”
I swallowed, fighting to keep my composure.
“You took the prince, ruined my wedding, and then took me. All because you think the crown owes you something?”
“The crown does owe people something.”
“Then demand it like a man instead of hiding behind smoke and masks.” I lifted my chin, refusing to back down. “A real leader would not need to kidnap a bride just to make himself heard. And what exactly has your rebellion accomplished? Since it began, soldiers have been marching through villages that were peaceful before. You call it a cause, but all I see is innocent people suffering because of your fight.”
