"I didn't want—I don't think I wanted Garrett dead."
"He isn't dead," Jude says matter-of-factly. "He's a tree."

Oh my God, Jude. How is that better?

Cardan is lying on the bed, bandaged and sulking, in a magnificent dressing gown. "I hate being unwell," he says.
"You're not sick," Jude tells him. "You are recovering from being stabbed—or rather, throwing yourself on a knife."
"You would have done the same for me," he says airily.
"I would not," Jude snaps.
"Liar," Cardan says fondly.

Jude moves into an easy stance. She's good. She's always been good.

Jude rushes at the prince. Oak parries, circling. "Cardan's okay, then?" he asks as quietly as he is able.
"He'll have an impressive scar," she returns, voice low. "I mean, not as impressive as several of mine, obviously."
Oak lets out a breath. "Obviously."

I’d give my life for this two, I freaking love them🤎

"I wasn't part of Randalin's conspiracy," Oak tries again.
But Jude only gives her brother a grim smile. "Well, then, what a wonderful opportunity for you to prove your loyalty and die for the High King."

I trust Jude with my life. So, awed, I ask the same. What IS her game?

I don’t give a shit, Oak. I really don’t.

Agh, the hell with this bitch. Kill her.
