That was when I understood—really understood—why village girls wanted to marry city boys and city girls wanted to marry princes. I wanted to stay here forever. I would want it even if I had to fight the women in the palace and dodge Terren’s knives. Even if I had to be planted, over and over again, until I grew them a son. So long as I was never hungry again, I thought, they could do to me anything they pleased
