"You won't." It was that simple.
"If it's a question everyone knows the right answer to they don't need a sovereign to make it, the Freehold can differentiate black and white on its own. They turn to Kings and Queens when everything blurs into shades of gray, when no one knows what's right and what's wrong...when they need someone to make the hard choice." And you always remembered that kind of choice, could never help but dwell on it. You never knew how far the ripples from it might reach.
"So you ask advice of those you trust, you fall back on all the experience you have, you trust your judgement...and you make it. Then you do everything you can to make sure it turns out well. And then you hope you chose right. And it'll stick with you, it stuck with me, stuck with Terri...it'll stick with anyone. That's when a crown feels heavier than any band of metal, or onyx, has any right to."
"So you live with the choices you do make. And you keep doing it because you know the position lets you make a difference, and leave the Freehold better than it was before you took up the crown. Because someone has to, and you're the one the Wyrd chose. Because it's both a duty and a privilege. And because that uncertainty helps keep you grounded, reminds you of who you are."
