“Why are you being such a baby over this? I’m the one who was kept cloistered. (Livia)Because my mother and sister are sacred beings, unsullied by the hands of a man, and if you tell me differently, especially where Zarina is concerned, I swear to God, I’m donning my assassin’s uniform and gutting whatever bastard touched her.
