From a woman who had had her heart broken countless times. She thought to her conversation with Io, and quickly shook it out of her head, it would do nothing but fill her with fury.
“Have I ever told you about how I ended up here in novus? How I became a lost princess in a world far bigger than I could have imagined?”
