LOVE AS THOU WILT

"My child." Ganelon de la Courcel knew that his days were counted and recent rumors around the Palace made him fear about the fate of the country. "Is it true?" D'Angelline women had the right of choice. But not the Dauphine. Ysandre must choose someone fit, not…. "Alba is on the brink of war, and even if it weren't…."

"Zealots would cry at the mix of royal blood," Ysandre stated wryly. "But doesn't Elua's precept apply to us all? Yes, I choose Necthana's son." Violet eyes warmed. "And he chooses me, as well."

Ganelon sighed. "Elua guard us all, then."

Author's note:

Well, that's all. For now.

If you ever find one of my Request Time posts at kitteninthedark dot livejournal dot com, PLEASE request Kushiel's Legacy. I love writing about this world, but I'm usually too lazy to do it without a prompt.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll leave some feedback - and if you mention your favorite drabbles, it'd be GREAT.
