"What I would have you do is act like a Princess, the same way Atlantis has always expected me to act like a king. What you want, what I want, is secondary. The kingdom needs an heir, needs its defenders, and needs a suitable couple who will produce the next Atlantean heir. And no matter how much you love him, Ty is not an Atlantean. If you don't want to marry Cerdian, there might be some room for compromise there... but you will marry a suitable Atlantean man and not compromise the line of succession. Not just because its what I want, but because if you don't, the council, political rivals and enemies will all challenge your childrens' legitimacy and your fitness to lead... and when I'm gone, there's a chance they might win. Don't do that to yourself, and do not do that to your children."
