The door slammed behind him, and warmth returned to the room once more. Was it because the cold winter was shut out? Or because Allen had left her presence? Rose sighed, it had been a good relationship, but it was time to end it. Allen had never understood the prospect of Rose having alone time. He didn't grasp that her world didn't revolve around him. She had other responsibilities, she was the queen of the land now that her father had passed on. Rose wouldn't be surprised if she never got married, for the land was in turmoil, a great war was raging between their allies, the Yidions and the enemy Moorland people. Since they were allies, they were expected to help them fight,and many men were being lost.
She was thinking of ending the friendship between the two kingdoms, but her good friend Grace was a princess in Yide, and she didn't know if she could stay sane without their leisurely rides and picnics. But for your kingdom, he father had often said, you needed to make sacrifices. Rose turned and started penning her end of the alliance to the kingdom of Yide. She would not allow one more man from her people die for a war between other kingdoms. For a fight that wasn't theirs. Rose would have to end her friendship with Grace, as she had ended her relationship with Allen.
How many more sacrifices would have to be made be fore the end of her reign?
