Do you want to know what, among the many things that do, upsets me the most? That one thing which, above all others, slices straight to the center of aggravation? When you do for someone, generously, and give to them everything they claim they desire, only to realize that each attempt made is one more unappreciated gesture. That one man is willing to turn the world upside down to win fair passion only in response to listen to another whiny request from the target of those attempts. Or, perhaps, watch it go ignored as though that gesture were expected.

I consider myself to be fair. That over which I rule goes without complaint, and those whom do not comply with the results of my generosity are punished. Is that not fair? Little do many realize that at my fingertips lies the power to give and to take away, and many times I do so upon request. Sarah discovered that and to her I was more generous than to any I've ever been. She wished to enter my kingdom, I did allow it. She desired to challenge my power, I did make it difficult. I played by her rules and gave in to her wants all to prove that I am not a man without compromise and to what end? To be cast aside as the latest replaced plaything? How is it possible that one lone girl could be so difficult to please?

I am a fair man, but I am also not forgiving. I do not settle so easily when before me remains something I desire. I do not remain on my throne by bending over backward to the wills of others. Perhaps it is time that Sarah learns appreciation for the things she is given. A girl that intrigues me the way she does should not be unwarranted my attention. How can I possibly be more compassionate than that?
