But her mind is a wall of bricks mortared by her contempt for he whom she rode into this lush forest to escape, before being handed over like a golden trinket. “To marry for love.” The frog blnks,“Granted.” Hoofbeats pound like traitors at her door, closer, until they surround her. Armor crashes, father’s men before her on their knees. “The king is dead! Long live the queen!” Granted.
