They say you’re like your father, just as I was like mine. But I see a part of me inside you, strong and stubborn.

You lift that chin as if daring me to hold you back, but I won’t. How could I, when all I ever wanted was to be free?

I chose my king and my life, and our coupling brought you to me. But it’s time for you to build your own kingdom, and to make your own life.

I am so proud of you, my daughter. Soar above all those who would underestimate you. You’ve got this!
