Love is a cruel myth created to make women obey.

Men do not love us. They may be fond of us, but they think only of themselves, and when they tire of us...then all the words they have told us mean nothing. And if we are foolish enough to believe them, and love them in return...

Then we are heartbroken.

And we must simply live with this. It is as my father says. It is my burden to bear, and I must do my duty.

So it is. So it always will be.

Those aren't silly things. They have their own purpose, just as much as fighting and cooking and riding do. They're useful in their own place. I can barely cook or clean, all I know is from my books, languages and old stories. People told me those were useless, but if they are we wouldn't teach them. Just because they are things women are taught to do doesn't make them useless.

If you were only pretty, he wouldn't have spoken to you as you say that he did, gotten to know you. Just because you don't fight or ride doesn't mean you're not strong. It's just a different sort of strength. He doesn't seem the sort who would take interest in a woman who was truly weak, not as long as he has you.
