Brittany's eyes flashed with determination, refusing to let her father's words deter her. "Maybe I am a child in your eyes, but I know what I want, and I'm willing to fight for it.

King Roderick's frustration deepened. "This isn't just about you and Alex! It's about the future of our entire kingdom. You have a duty to consider how your decisions affect everyone. There are traditions and expectations that must be respected."
"But tradition doesn't have to dictate our future!" Brittany countered, her voice rising. "We need to adapt and evolve. If we cling to the past, we risk losing everything."
