Prince Elrick
Elrick felt perplexed in her sudden change of demeanor. She seemed upset about something, though he couldn't tell what. Before he could ask, though, she asked him a question. Who did he want to marry? He opened his mouth to answer, paused, and closed his mouth with a frown. Elrick chose his words carefully. "There is no one I am close enough to, at this point in my life, to want to marry them." He paused, feeling like he wasn't really getting his point across. "I haven't met many girls, but then it never really mattered who I might want to marry, did it? My Mother was always going to choose someone suitable for me, whether I liked her or not." Elrick thought about what he wanted to say, and continued. "What I mean is, I've never wanted to get close to anyone...to know if I might want to marry that person. Because...I probably would not get to choose my spouse. It would only end in pain for both parties." Elrick glanced up at her. "Do you know what I mean?"
