Warm and well lit, this room is equal parts windows and bookshelves. Overflowing with books, maps, parchment, and other odds and ends the shelves sag slightly from the weight. The lush maroon carpet complements the dark oak wood paneled walls, which are lined with rich tapestries.

I am the Princess. My father is the Queen. My mother is dead and my father is about to marry a horrible woman.
This family jewel is beautiful!  May I have it upon my wedding day? Only the best for you, my dear.  Thank you!  I was just worried about your fiancee receiving it, instead of me. My fiancee? Who told you of that?  She has been telling everyone about it!  And bragging about the riches she will have! Oh dear, that won't do. Perhaps remarrying was not the best option so soon after your mother's death.  Thank you for understanding Father, but isn't this marriage part of a peace treaty with the Southern Kingdom?  I read about it on this parchment that I found in your reading room... Indeed, but that doesn't mean it is absolute. It would just take renegotiation to amend the terms. But this marriage is the path of least resistance, I suppose.  That is true.  I do worry about how she will treat the servants... some say that she is a horrible woman to those below her in status. I will keep her on the tight leash then. I may be obligated to marry her, but that doesn't mean I have to love her.  Oh Father!  That is so true.  What would the other options be, should you choose not to marry her after you have met? There would have to be other concessions. Perhaps secession of our southernmost states to their kingdom.
