Discuss privately with your mother.

After leaving words for your mother to join you in your private chamber, you sit preparing for the talk to be rough. Your mother always thinks of what's best for the kingdom but she omitted a very crucial component of the succession, as a female, it is true that taking a husband was paramount and needed to be done hastily. But you weren't a female, at least, not where it counted considering your duty to the throne. What was the most important was to make an heir to secure your family on the throne, of course, your mother probably counted on your brother or sister to deliver such a promise but you weren't ready to lie down and give up your own chance at a lineage bathed in glory.

As you try to calm your nerve the door opens revealing your mother, her face is calm but you detect a little bit of stress which is understandable considering the situation.

"Mother, I am glad you came." You said trying to initiate the conversation in an amicable manner. She simply nods before going to stand at the edge of your bed, she's clearly waiting for you to say your piece. You decide to be direct and blunt, as of now, you are the authority in the kingdom, and although you are ready to welcome advice and counsel, you are also ready to make your own decisions.

"I will not look for a husband, mother." You deliver unpassionately. Before Roysia can explode you continue.

"If I find a husband my line ends here, I will not do such a thing. I will find a breedable wife, I will plow her field to give me many children, and I WILL continue succession to the throne!" You inform her with more passion this time. As you expected, your mother is too shocked to respond immediately.

She stares at you with wide eyes probably trying to both digest what you just told her and find where this sudden authoritative tone comes from. You were always more soft-spoken than your other siblings so you are not surprised by your mother's reaction but you do feel satisfaction at having fooled her all those years. In a world where most lead with authority and often ****, you had long decided to use a more subtle approach. That didn't mean you couldn't use a firmer path when needed, it just meant that when you did it conveyed more gravitas and weight.

"You will do no such thing! I won't let the kingdom crum..." Your mother quickly stops when you stand up to meet her furious gaze. Again, she was shocked by your presence's authority. You are taller than her and more importantly way stronger. The advantage of growing with both hormones you supposed.

"You should be careful mother, I know you are a good woman and trying to do what is best for our kingdom ... MY kingdom. But! That sounded an awful lot like a threat, even if the coronation is not official yet I am still your Queen, and I hope you don't intend on working against me but supporting me as you should." You advise without any malice.

You know your mother is strict and sometimes appears cold toward you and your siblings but this is purely because of her duty to the kingdom, you know she loves every one of her children more than anything. You watch a flurry of emotions play in her eyes, you know she is probably as annoyed as she is proud of you right now. The question is...
