“Maryan put a hand over her face. "Oh no. You pretended to be captured by bandits so that I'd come and meet Prince Hugo, didn't you?"

"Isn't he the sweetest thing?" said her mother. "And so fashionable."

"He's got like a million followers," said her father. "I'm not sure what that means, but many of my peers are impressed. And he's in line to inherit all the southern territories."

Maryan glared at them. "Mom, Dad, you need to stop sending suitors after me. They keep getting eaten by servants of the underworld."

Her father spread his hands. "A relationship requires work and sacrifice, Maryan.”

“I think if my life was hollow and unhappy I would focus on fixing it so I could be happy on my own, Prince Juan, and then maybe I'd consider a relationship with someone else.”
Alexander Thomas, Princess of Prophecy

“Cornelius' eyes went as wide as dinner plates, though more like eyeball-sized dinner plates, or perhaps regular dinner plates seen from some distance away.”
Alexander Thomas, Princess of Prophecy
