they wanted a grisha queen. mal wanted a commoner queen. and what did i want? peace for ravka. a chance to sleep easy in my bed without fear. an end to the guilt and dread that i woke to every morning. there were old wants too, to be loved for who i was, not what i could do, to lie in a meadow with a boy’s arms around me and watch the wind move the clouds.
