"Look, Abelle. I'm going to be frank here." Elyas sighed. He was a year younger than the woman, and yet trying to console her. "In no way, do I want to force you into a marriage. That is the last thing I want. But is your father's wrath worth disobeying him? I will never force you into anything you do not wish, and I shall be at your every beck and whim. I am here to be your friend, your lifelong companion. But don't think I'll ever try to take the place of Gaban in your heart. I can understand he means something special to you. More than I ever could. But I ask you this, Abelle; please, please out the needs of the realm first. To bring unity to High Rock in the wake of the upheaval would be best for all." Elyas sighed again. "I will not force you into marriage. But it would be best for everyone, and for you too, I think."
