considering places. ...if Queenie wasn't making it so hard

[wasneverasked]

I will go nowhere near those places where I would give my body to another man, woman, creature, for the sake of breathing...I won't go. I was taken once from my husband -- never again. Place me anywhere I should lose my memories of my love, my home, my family...I won't go. I've already missed so much when I was held in Troy that I refuse to lose even a single precious memory I've experienced back in Sparta's arms.

You will send Queen Helen of Sparta as herself, of herself, in full, or not at all. It is how my father would want it. Sparta raises no weaklings, flinchers, nor cowards.

That is my decree.

Queen Helen of Sparta
