Rejection Is a Dish Best Served Cold

I don’t know how that idiot justifies himself. Somehow, in his mind it’s perfectly fine that he kissed me full on the mouth on our first meeting, but for his brother to peck me on the cheek is the highest offense imaginable. Perhaps he’s forgotten his behavior entirely—that seems the only reason that I can think of for him to throw such a tantrum and not recognize his own faults. He is driving me to insanity!

Dearest Viola,

I’m terribly sorry (and I must say, quite shocked) to learn that I am such a source of ire to you. My conduct toward you has only been with the utmost sincerity. I should think you would know this already, as I feel I have been very clear on that point.

On the other hand, I happen to know for a fact that my dear brother Cassian is deeply in love with another woman, so I take umbrage at him making overtures toward you. I would not think you should find this impertinent. He is a charming fellow (or so I have been told), and I really am only looking out for your well-being. It would be terribly inconvenient for both of us if you were to fall in love with him. Not that you would when you have me to admire.

Well done on placing that pair with the Graysons, by the way, for I had no intention of giving them space here at the palace. It warms my heart that you would concern yourself on their behalf, but they really don’t deserve it. As I told you before, no one asked them to come.

With all love and adoration,

Your Prince
