Status Updates From 墮落王子III: 誓約之冠

the political maneuvering in this book is insane

damen is so down bad while Laurent dgaf this is one of the craziest dynamics I’ve read in a minute

Omgggg I knew that dress Laurent got in book two was gonna be used sjskskj and everyone keeps going on and on how exactly alike him and Jokaste are!! It's not her in there it's goddamned Laurent.

‘But how does the court know if the royal marriage has been consummated?’
‘The King knows whether or not it has been consummated!’ Horrified.
... ‘You wrestled him without any clothes on.’
'That is sports,’ ...
‘The King of Vere really consummates his marriage in front of the court?’
‘Not in front of the court,’ said Laurent, as if this were unspeakably foolish, ‘in front of the Council.’
‘Guion is on the Council!’

‘No. Listen to me.’ He felt Laurent’s hand firm on the back of his neck. ‘I’m not going to let my uncle hurt you.’
...
‘It’s what I came here last night to say. I’m going to take care of it.’
‘Promise me,’ Damen heard himself say. ‘Promise me we won’t let him—’
‘I promise.’ Laurent said it seriously, his voice honest; no game playing, just the truth.

Chapter 12 killed me!! This is everything.

‘I mean that we hold the centre. We hold everything from Acquitart to Sicyon. Can we not call it a kingdom and rule it together? Am I such a poorer prospect than a Patran princess, or a daughter of the Empire?’

Omgggg he's soooo gone for him.

Laurent said, ‘No. I’m not here to—’ He said, ‘I’m just here.’

This is the sweetest and nicest thing he could've said to him.

Damen didn’t understand it, didn’t understand the look in Laurent’s eyes, or in Jokaste’s. Then Laurent spoke in an awful voice. ‘You have sent Damianos’s son to my uncle.’


FUCKING HELL. I mean I don't want to believe her but ...

‘Or is that what you like about it? That Damen is what you’ll never be. That he has surety, self-belief, strength of conviction. Those are things that you yearn for. When he focuses it all on you, it makes you feel like you can do anything.’ Laurent said, ‘Now we are both telling the truth.’

Damnnn Laurent.

‘The question is how much you liked it.’
‘I see. We are going to trade stories? Shall I tell you my preferred position?’
‘I imagine it’s similar to mine.’
‘Confined?’ said Laurent.

Those two shouldn't be left alone. I'm scared

He felt it like the final tearing of that relationship, as though somehow before this moment there had been some hope that he could reach Kastor, but that now what was between them was unsalvageable.

Oh my God!! Damen legit believe he could forgive Kastor even after everything... man, he's a muuuuch better person than me.

She was beautiful. As ever with her, it was something you noticed initially and then forcefully discarded because it was the least dangerous aspect of her. It was her mind, deliberate, calculating, that was the threat, regarding him from behind a pair of cool blue eyes. ‘Hello, Damen,’ said Jokaste.

My man has a type and will never change it even if it kills him.

‘No,’ said Nikandros. ‘I know you’re going to bed him. I’m saying that when he lets you, think about what he wants.’

Nikandros is right.

i stg whenever i wanna read i'm too tired

“And this— it was nothing like Auguste, who had called to his men to stand back.”
…
“Laurent was throwing everything at him, drawing every part of their surroundings desperately into the fight. And he was still unable to hold ground.”

I don’t know how this scene is going to play out because this is DEVASTATING

laurent a cada pagina voce melhora you go girl linda perfeitinha

Makedon remarked, rising, ‘You should have your slave fetch you some.’
‘Fetch me some,’ Laurent said.
Damen rose. And stopped.
Laurent had gone very still. Damen stood there, awkwardly. He could think of no other reason why he had stood up.

OH MY GOD!!! THE AWKWARDNESS!! I'D WANNA DIE.
