My damn brothers protected my beloved sister’s honor so carefully that I had to run far away in search of a chance at happiness. What a joke—is it only right to stay a virgin at twenty-four? In my opinion, that’s too much. And even more so there’s no reason to laugh that the scoundrel who stole my heart has never been a prince on a white horse, but rather a bully, a rude oaf, and a savage pure and simple! So sad.
