'"I belong to you," he whispered against her hair. "I will always belong to you."'

OH MY FUCKING GODDDD!!!! IT HAPPENED!!!! GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET RN!!!!!

'And then and there, her resolve solidified. They won't take him. No matter what happened at trial, even if she was tied to the Aequitas's whipping post, she wouldn't allow them to topple Kadra. It wasn't just because he was a good man, or because she respected—loved—every mad inch of him. The land needed him. And he cared for it just as deeply. The knowledge sank to her bones, mingled with her grief.'

THAT FUCKING BITCH CISURÉ OMGGGG I JUST WANT TO PUNCH HER SO BAD

'"You're right." Tears blurred her vision. "But I can't sit back when I know that someone's about to be hurt. I wish I could ignore and focus on myself and be as practical as you are. My life would be the smoother for it. But I don't know how. Thousands of lives have been and will be ruined by the Metals Guild. I can't let that keep happening. If there's a chance I can win this trial, I have to try."'

Truly one of the best feelings when you find out your conspiracy theory was right 😭 Plus...you all need to meet Kadra! This man may be morally grey but he can do no wrong in my book 😂

'"Help me," Sarai whispered. "I... care for a monster. I haven't condemned him when I know that the Tetrarchy is desperate for a chink in his armor. I don't even know if my memories can be trusted" —her voice cracked— "or if I'm so angry that I've twisted everything."'

Kadra is so fucking FINE that he's gotten an atheist to pray to a God 😭😭 understandable

’”Is that what I’m supposed to do?” she asked bitterly. “Hide behind powerful men?”

”Use me.” His voice was hypnotic. “I’ll shield you.”

Her heart hummed fiercely. “Why?”

He spoke with quiet gravity. “You have power here too. Use mine until you find yours. Give everyone no choice but to hear you.”’

OMGGG KADRAAAA!!!! I LITERALLY SCREAMED!!!
