"I guess I didn't actually put a confidentiality seal on anything, and sort of assumed given the subject that this part was not just all being transcribed and copied to the Queen, but still. I recommend in strong terms, and request even if retroactively, that you tell her only the part where the tropes are trying to force her to introduce complications in a place they clearly aren't needed, and not mention to her that the two most obvious fates for her if she does are, first, being revealed as a traitor and removed as Queen, and second, ending up as my girlfriend. Because if it's the first one, let's not let her know that we know, and if it's the second one, I have no intention of telling any of my kids that is how I met their mother."
Actually now that he's said it out loud, it doesn't sound too bad as a story to tell your kids? Kind of awesome, actually.
