““So I'll be careful-" "There is no careful. You are a bull in the china shop of love.You'll have no way of knowing what you've broken or how precious it may be.Any change you enact is not going to be obvious. There will be no great sign reading IF YOU VEER RIGHT,YOU SHALL BE A PRINCESS, VERSUS IF YOU VEER LEFT,YOU'LL REMAIN A SCULLERY MAID FOREVER." "Come on,Roland,don't you think I have slightly loftier goals than ending up a princess?" Luce said sharply. "I could venture a guess that there is a curse you want to put an end to?" Luce blinked at him,feeling stupid. "Right,then,best of luck!" Roland laughed brightly.””
