If I owned anything, you would be calling me Mrs Ben Barnes. R&R please, not Beta'd.


She was not what I expected.

Queen Susan the Gentle from the Professor's history books was supposed to be graceful, fragile and well...gentle. But the young woman dressed in blue in front of me was anything but those things. Her voice was strong as she called out to her brother the High King, her hazel eyes fierce. The way she instinctively stepped to shadow her younger siblings spoke volumes of her love for her family.

When our eyes met, a ghost of blush on her delicate face just made everything worth it.

Yes, she definitely was not what I expected.
