Twisted Games

Bridget talks to Mikaela about repealing the Royal Marriages Law, but Mikaela thinks that this will be nearly impossible because Eldorra hasn’t repealed a law in decades. To do so requires the Speaker of Parliament (Lord Erhall) to bring the issue to the floor. Once a motion is proposed, three-quarters of Parliament would have to vote for it.

One night, Andreas visits Rhys at his guesthouse and insinuates that he knows about Rhys and Bridget’s relationship. Comparing her to Nikolai, Andreas suggests that Bridget would be happier if she abdicated and let him become the king.

Bridget calls Rhys during her wedding preparations with her brother’s fiancée, Sabrina. Though she initially resented Sabrina, Bridget hopes that Sabrina and Nikolai can have a happy ending to their story even if she and Rhys cannot.
