Isabella's Epilogue

A torment of emotions have I lately experienced
through the unending quest to save my brother’s life.
I put my trust in a friar I thought I knew,
Only to discover he is a far more powerful man.
My main abettor is a mystery to me, but now wants to be my groom.
I find these actions conflicting.
That he who would help me would also call me a storyteller.
He told me tales of my brother’s death
while my brother yet breathed air in the room next.
It seems to me that the man who became two,
May indeed be two in one.
From whence does this proposal stem?
The royal duke or the humble friar?
It seems to me that this strange figure,
who caused much ado only to undo his mischief,
is not one to be trusted with my body and mind.
Though much gratitude to this man I do owe

‘tis not enough to wed tomorrow.
