"I cannot promise you will," Cloud admitted, leading the way to the Prince's rooms. "I too, did not seem to be the best or most productive choice for the Princess." To her parents, perhaps. If it was different, a fantastic choice. To the rest of Balamb, the wrong choice for much of their married life. Thankfully, that was beginning to change, but for some he was certain it never would. "But I was her choice, and her Father came to respect that." In time enough that he was able to marry her instead of her marrying the Balambish King.
