Quote by Avellina Balestri

“I play the affable fool at social gatherings and cut deals in back rooms with my fellow Normans. But I cannot trust them with my vulnerability. Only from you I hide nothing, for you are open about your feelings and your cause, even to those on the other side. Yes, you are a Saxon, but…I trust you more than my own people.”
