― Jessica Day George, quote from Princess of the Midnight Ball 'I choose Rose,' Galen blurted out at the same time. 'Father,' Rose protested, 'that won't be necessary!' 'If neither of you is going to speak up,' King Gregor said, 'I shall simply have to decide it for myself!' 'Do you want to marry me?' she whispered in a much quieter tone than Pansy had used. Under cover of their squabbling, Rose took Galen's hand and moved closer to him. 'If he's too embarrased, you should be the one to say something.' 'Oh, Rose! Don't just stand there like a lump,' Poppy said, poking her in the back.

'If Rose doesn't want you,' the little girl whispered loudly, 'you can marry me.' “Galen Werner, you may choose one of my daughters to be your bride, and when I die, you shall sit beside her as co-ruler of Westfallin.'
