“In fact, once I have retaken my throne, you will not have to do anything if you do not wish it. If you desire to sit in some corner of the castle hunched over your books and notepaper, bestirring yourself only to demand a tour of some brownie market or bogle den, then it will be done."

“I am glad there will be another mortal at court. In fact, I believe I will invite others to join us. Perhaps we should have an equal number of them on our Council, Em. What do you think?"
"You say that as if it is out of the goodness of your heart," I said with a snort. "Really it is because you find mortals easier to charm than other Folk".
He gave me an amused look. "Ah, but there you're wrong—I prefer the company of those who are difficult to charm.”
