"Your short-sighted thoughts make me laugh, dear uncle. How can you judge a snake before it shows its fangs?" "I'd go to unfathomable ends just to keep that laugh of yours." "Moving on is something I have always failed at. I thought you'd know." Marceline Maeve Huxley has made her mind and her ideals won't budge. No reprimanding uncle or white-haired prince will stop her from what she desires. No one can trip her from her climb to the throne. And anyone who dares will drown in the endless sea of her tears.
