"The Picture of Dorian Gray" from my point
Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you?

Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you - and full as much heart!

Bu soylu bir ata binmiş soylu bir prens değildi, beni yok etmek için dünyama hücum eden şeytani bir canavardı, ama bunun önemi yok gibiydi."
“Unexpected, princess. I thought you’d left me and be heartless. I’m still alive because you of course.”
I was dumbfounded. Who the hell held me and threatened me until just before I collapsed?
“Cause you said, ‘you’ll regret it when I wake up’?”
