"Okay. But have you actually done something to fix that? Because I have tried myself to patch anything with Jade but she literally refuses because you keep putting things in her head."

"Yes, I did. I'm still trying too by growing closer and opening up yo my friends and family." Said Destiny. "It's required me to be honest about how broken I am as a person, but I'm trying to put the pieces back."

“Well, maybe Jade should be more open to that as well. Because as I said, she refuses.”

"You never gave her the chance to have a life outside of her royal duties."

“I didn’t trap her.” Kord says. “You still have to have standards.”

"Standards that basically rob her of any kind of agency." Sadie replied.

“You don’t understand those standards because you’re not a princess.” Kord says. “The same way she doesn’t understand if she is with you she can’t be a Queen. You have to be able to have an heir.”

"I get that she's your sister and that you would do ANYTHING to protect her," Destiny responded. "But even you have to realize that you can't protect her from everything."

“Yes, and I never said I could. But you should probably tell her to take what I just told you into account if she’s staying with you.”

"I recognize that as well," Destiny conceded. "That's why I let her explore the wild for a week on her own. Eventually you're going to have to let her make her own choices."
