There's something powerfully masculine about this. Bits of word-ordering, description -- 'her wish was delayed until the wheels of war delivered him to her.' As though Rasler was her rightful prize to be claimed, all it required was a bit of fate to get things happening. Even 'wilted desire' -- wilting of desire seeming particularly masculine/male-associated.
(Or, then again, masculine or ego-centric? I fall into the bad habit of thinking about them as the same thing.)
