Vashti's Daughter
“Adara, I’ve never heard you talk so strangely. I know what a bull is, of course, but what is this shit you speak of?”
“It’s an expression, Vashti. It means that what you’re asking me to do goes against everything you ran away from and I will not allow that to happen. Queen Elizabeth didn’t need a man to help her and neither do we.”
“I do not know of this Queen.”
“You would like her. She ruled a great kingdom called England when she was only twenty-five, and like what nearly happened to me, her father had her mother killed. If you’re telling me, our only hope for our kingdom is to marry quickly and lean upon a husband for support, I say Queen Elizabeth proves that isn’t the case.”
