I love this, NB. Your point-of-view character is very accessible. In one breath she's talking about strategic alliances and in the next about getting a pony (well, a horse). It sounds so young-girly, but not in a flighty way: this is a princess who has a sense of her station, even if she might wish her fate otherwise. I want to hug her.

Her mother feels *very* queenly. Almost in a scary way, but mostly just impressive.

This is wonderful Nancy. How sad for a girl to have to leave her home but she was right about what a woman's fate would most likely be once married. Glad we've come a long way since then lol

You do such an amazing job with your writing. You take an obscure character and give so much interest to their life that I ache for more! I can easily connect with this character, and my only wish is that this story would go on longer! Excellent job.

Excellently done, Nancy! I love how Tortgyd poses the simpliest questions, as this one: "To be a greater lord in a lesser place, or a lesser lord in a greater place?", even though she already knows some answers. She is very mature, but she still remains a young girl, not entirely sure of what awaits her.

Great job! Thanks a lot for sharing. Smile smiley face
