Someone strong enough to stare down the council and all of Insomnia's court and defy every societal desire to see someone less controversial as Regis' queen. He would have loved to see her gloat about how it was she who brought the Chosen King into the world. And... he wonders if she'd have told him to defy his fate, too.]
