Chapter 16
Valia started crying and I knew I had gotten my point across. "I always thought that if I could mold you to be like me then you could add your amazing qualities to mine and you'd be the strongest ruler we'd ever have." "Valia you never cared to have anything to do with my qualities." Tyler came up beside me and grabbed my hand trying to comfort me so I could continue on. "You only ever cared about your own and whenever I showed mine all you ever did was say cut that out you're being childish. I want to be my own person Valia. That and no matter what you say I'm going to be with Tyler and if I have to I will pry the city from your cold dead hands only because this isn't just what I want. It's what dad wants too. He's been ruler for far too long and he's ready to be done with it and I know he'd like to pass it onto me so it stays in the family. Can you at least care enough about him to give him that much or are you just too horrible for that?" She looked wounded, "I know I've forced myself upon you and that has not been fair. You may be with the boy because you do have one thing like me. You are not going to give up on your man. I would do just about anything for your father and of course I'd do that for him. I do care about you I just need to start acting like it. Now care to introduce me to him?" I tilted my head and she said, "Introduce me to your male companion. Full name don't skimp on me." I laughed, "Well Miss Valia Cardwell this is well I'll let him introduce himself he's more than capable of it." I elbowed him and he laughed, "Well Evergreen I'm glad you think I'm capable of introducing myself. Ma'am I am Tyler Lee Parker, glad to meet you."
