Je comprends. On a placé ta froide main dans la main du vassal insolent, décoré des pouvoirs du maître ; la royale procuration, sanctionnée par l’officieux chapelain de Son Excellence, a réuni aux yeux du monde deux êtres inconnus l’un à l’autre. Je suis au fait de ces cérémonies. Et toi, ton coeur, ta tête, ta vie, marchandés par entremetteurs, tout a été vendu au plus offrant ; une couronne de reine t’a faite esclave pour jamais ; et cependant ton fiancé, enseveli dans les délices d’une cour, attend nonchalamment que sa nouvelle épouse...
