"I'm sorry, Dani_"
"Think of it this way, Paisley, you tell who the father is, I will secretly tell the King to make the person marry you, that way you have your dignity intact than to be exposed... Later." It appeared my abinitio false claim of truth isn't working, so I'm choosing another tactic. "Is that what you want?" I prodded, not giving her any chance to change her mind.
"I can't tell you! Stop, stop trying to manipulate me!" She clasped her hand tightly on her head and shouted, "I am going to marry the King, I am sorry!"
"But he is not the father of your pup, so why make him do that? Are you that callous that you will throw away a chance at true love between me and the King, just for- for your selfish reasons?" My patience is waning.
