No

"No... as tempting as that may be... it would be too irresponsible of me..." You sigh... you can't just take the easy way out....

“Hey kamek?” you say hesitantly.

“Yes princess?”

"You said I can still marry Bowser right even after my behavior?"

"I believe so, yes. I think deep down he wants you in his life and happy, if that means making you his equal, he will do it."

"But... is Bowser a good king… like... his image is all fire and metal… and he leads you all like an army… but does he take care of his people?" You ask bluntly.

"Yes, I think that is why we we are willing to fight for him. I won’t say he is perfect, but all of us have full medical and dental coverage and we have never gone hungry."

Your eyes bulge as you stare at him. "Full healthcare, how can your kingdom afford it?!"

"Well, such things aren’t hard if coins are distributed based on the needs of the people and not on the needs of the few, I personally suspect your government is a bit more corrupt then you may think if this comes as a shock."

"What... no..." That can't be right and your incredulousness must show on your face cause he continues.

"If I may be so bold, I think they may have **** you, I detect traces of a lust spell of some sort on your soiled clothes. I don’t expect you to trust me, but did anything strange happen before Bowser kidnapped you yesterday?"

That's right... you were so horny..."Yes… but how do I know it wasn’t you... or Bowser?"

"Because the effects abated after you left your castle." He says confidently.

"They did…. But why?" This news strikes you like a hammer and you slump into the bath.

"If Bowser hadn’t attacked... hmm... Princess, what was planned for that day?"

"Mario was coming..."You say hesitantly... "Toadsworth had arranged for me to spend some time alone with him…" Not Mario, he wouldn't do that to you, would he? He was fairly bitter about the cake being just a cake...

"Perhaps... and this is only conjecture... perhaps they wished for you to be distracted." He thinks for a minute shaking his head. "Or for you to marry? Mario is not educated... we know this, he comes from another world too... as king he would be easy to manipulate at least as far as embezzlement of kingdom funds. That is if our previous talk of funds is an indication."

It’s true… the real reason you haven’t become more serious with Mario is your belief that he just isn't suited to the responsibilities of a king. But if what Kamek is saying is true, maybe you aren’t either…

"Do… do you think if I marry Bowser he would help me fix it? Not just burn it to the ground?"

"I think it is worth talking to him about, I think despite your passionate affair yesterday that he would still marry you if you asked."

"Make me a queen… if this would help my people.." You say convincing your self. "Then I could do it in good faith… but…"

"Still worried your highness?"

"This is embarrassing… but… how am I supposed to get Bowser to respect me as a ruler by day and umm… you know…"

"Treat you like a worthless slut at night… yes my princess that is going to be a hard tight rope to walk especially with your seeming attraction to exhibitionism."

You sigh…

"This is going to be a hard sell."
