as i was called a king

well , the king said to the queen,your Highness, my Queen, Lady of my heart, you who sets the rules for the court and the pace of time, i must take my leave. i will rather drown in my passion and sleep with the dogs than to die in your empty hand in which i cannot trust and where i find no peace nor shelter from the storms of war.

Well, said the queen, it is your choice.
