Anne nodded slowly. "Very true."

But this had never really bothered Anne. If she had Caspian's love at all, she would be content in all things. Anne didn't really appreciate all the whispers and looks she got as rumor spread. But how could she combat them? To some degree they were true, after all. Besides, she would never deny her emotions and affections for him.

Anne had genuine love for Caspian; the other women felt love for the king only. Not the man beneath the crown.
