Queen: "We're not asking you to commit to anything right away!"
King: "N-no, of course not...However, their princess will be arriving tomorrow to meet you. We will be hosting her for a month to give the two of you time to get to know each other.
Queen: "If you do not wish to marry her by the end of the month, we will not make you-surely there must be something else we could interest the Crimaerians in..."
They both sound worried. This is the first time Crimaeria has come even close to reaching peaceful negociations with their kingdom-and they cannot afford to keep fighting. However much the may deny it-this is the only option-and Mari knows it. She bows her head.
"Y-yes mother...yes father...I will do my best..."
