Private
That just isn't true. The laws are there so that if someone buys something with the money which they earned, be that a loaf of bread or a gold ring or a ship, then they can keep it and make use of it and not have it taken from them. It's wrong that some people are so poor they don't have enough, but it's also wrong to steal.
A few girls I know were married at that age. What happened to your husband?
What do you think you know about my father that I don't? That like any powerful man he's had enemies, and he's dealt with them? Of course I know that.
If you don't care where you end up, then by all means try it. I'd rather stay in Preya than end up in London in the wrong century, with everyone I know either long dead or not yet born. Why would anyone want that?
Any man who says he wouldn't is either a liar or a coward. I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's perfectly reasonable. Boys wouldn't have to learn duelling skills if it wasn't thought that someday we might have to make use of them.
