That night, would you have lain with me if you had known I was your king? Would you have let me into your bed, your arms, your heart? It was almost worth the later pain, to know that for one night you did not think of me as my title. To know that for one night, you were not judging me.
I know you hated me afterwards. It's a terrible thing, for one lover to lie to another, but I had to. I wanted to seduce you without Gondor lying between us.
I wanted you to let me love you.
