LYRIC FOR SALE

By ArtisticTea

Don’t tell a Queen your secrets, her handmaidens listen more closely than she, and no matter how she promises, there isn’t a secret she won’t sell to benefit herself. Don’t tell a King your secrets or whisper in his ear - nobles have lost their heads for less, and priests have died for pretending to be an all-seeing seer. Don’t tell a Prince your secrets, they’re pennies in the dust. He might forget you told him in the first place, or he might post it over the town. Fickle and undecided, he swears to silence, but it’s never true. Don’t tell a Princess your secrets, even behind a fan to hide your words, because while she may seem the wisest of the lot, she brings the downfall of her land and you. Beware, child, the royalty! Their sugary lips demand your loyalty, but to what point? Keep your secrets close and safe, or watch society burn down from the careless words you spill.
