She listened to him for a moment before she moved to her fiance's tomb and caressed her hand against the cold marble, her eyes going to the framed image of the man that she loved even now. "Don't be so hasty, every king needs a queen and vice-versa." she said softly, she felt her knees weakening as she wanted to break down and cry as she had so many times before, right now she couldn't she had company and she couldn't allow the weakness to show. "You see, Echo is still very much alive even if the beaten dog side of him is dead." her ruby eyes turned to look at him "There are still some things that young nobles are expected to do and have. Such as continuing their family line." she reminded him "Also, love doesn't always have to have anything to do with it, you just need an obedient trophy." she said lightly.
"In my late fiance's culture when it came to marriage it was more like a business arrangement between two families for any number of things. Also in his culture the bride's family paid the dowry, I was surprised to hear that." she said honestly "We shall continue with your analogy." she said eventually after hearing his words "A king's subordinates can move without the king moving, but if the king falls the game is lost, also, in a game of chess it is the queen who is the most powerful piece, not the king." this was a warning that he needed to play things smart because where he could use others to do things while keeping his hands clean only one slip up and the game ends and that for his own safety he needed someone by his side that could protect him even if they didn't know it.
"Your bride to be would be kept in the dark of course, but, you need to gain someone who would be beyond reproach due to their nature." she advised "One that would never be seen near a scoundrel." she knew that one was a very tall order because she had yet to meet someone who would be able to fit into that very specific mold. He had confirmed his magic and she had explained why she wished to know. She turned towards him and nodded as he spoke the name she had offered to the reborn rogue "This is your rebirthday Eclipse, the day you've opened your eyes properly for the first time and understood the path you have started to walk." she moved to the door and brought out the unique key making the door become semi-transparent once more.
"You can call me Angel because for now, it seems I am your teacher and guardian until you get your footing." she said softly to him "Remember everything I have said Echo, but for now, this is where we part ways. I wish to spend some time with my family and I am sure the two that were with you are worried I've murdered you." she said giving him a wave as he left, the key touching the semi-transparent door making it solid once more allowing them both the space they likely needed at the moment to take in the events that had transpired.
