"You must pray for guidance," he began adamantly. "But above all, you must not allow your feelings on the matter to change how you act, how you behave. Remember, blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
He patted her hand. "Remember, you are the righteous one. This country, this land, it needs someone like you on the throne, and I would hate to see your hatred stand in the way of your being accepted by the people. Perhaps the best would be to get away from the palace from time to time, spend time among the people you will be ruling. Get to know them, serve them, allow them a chance to love you. Worry not about this usurper as she is not the one who will marry the Prince, who will be Queen one day. That is yours and yours alone. Your main duty is to serve and rule the people, and they will love you for it."
