A kingdom, or this.
‘I met the Prince in Vere. I thought as you did. I didn’t know his heart.’
It was Laurent who said, ‘No.’
‘I came to learn it slowly.’
‘Damen, don’t do this.’
‘I came to learn his honesty, his integrity, his strength of mind.’
‘Damen—’

I'm terrified

“Uncle, don’t leave me alone—”’

THIS DISGUSTING WASTE OF A MAN, OF A BREATH, OF A SPACE. I HOPE SO SUFFER SOOO HARD BEFORE YOU DIE, YOU GODDAMNED CREEP.

And he has come here to give himself up for the child. He doesn’t even care whose child it is. He just knows it’s in danger, and that you’ll never fight me while I have it. He’s found the way to ensure that in the end, you will win: give himself up, in exchange for your child’s life.

Laurent you crazy crazy person!!!!!!

‘I think you saw it clearly, in those twilight days in Akielos. The end was coming, and Damianos wouldn’t listen to anyone. The only way to save his life was to persuade Kastor to send him as a slave to Vere. To do that you had to be in Kastor’s bed.’
He said, ‘I think it’s Kastor’s child, because I don’t think you would use Damen’s child against him.’

Damen is gonna be furious...

‘I was the Regent’s physician.’
‘So you ministered to his household.’
‘And to his boys,’ said Paschal.
Damen said nothing.

I really really hope I'm reading all this wrong. I don't want it to be true. But there so many lil phrases like this in each book and I feel like I'm going to throw up.

And then like Laurent he was suddenly somewhere he had never been. ‘I’ve,’ said Damen, ‘never—’
‘Nor have I,’ said Laurent. ‘You’d be my first.’
'As you’d be mine,’ he heard himself say.

Oops the percentages were ALL wrong... but anyway this is tooo much!! Again I really feel like I shouldn't be reading this omg

Laurent was going to do it. When you see a panther opening its jaws you don’t get your dick out. Damen didn’t move, didn’t breathe.

This is such a big step omg!!!! And I swear if this is all a lie imma lose it.

‘Charls!’ said Charls.
‘If he is Charls, then who are you?’ said the officer to Charls.
‘I,’ said Charls, ‘am—’
‘He is Charls, I have known him these eight years,’ said the innkeeper.
‘That’s right. He is Charls. I am Charls. We are cousins,’ said Charls, gamely, ‘named after our grandfather. Charls.’
‘Thank you, Charls, this man believes I am the King of Akielos,’ said Laurent.

🤣🤣

‘You are Charls the renowned Veretian cloth merchant?’ said the officer sceptically, as if this was a name well known to him. ‘No,’ said Laurent, as if this was the most foolish thing in the world. ‘I am Charls the renowned Veretian cloth merchant. This is my assistant. Lamen.’

LAMEN???!!!! 🤣🤣 OMG one is writing fanfics in his head and the other is using their ship name

‘It’s cool in summer, and there are fountains, and tracks for riding.’ His pulse beat with uncharacteristic nerves, so that he felt almost shy. ‘When all this is over . . . we could take horses and stay a week in the palace.’
After a moment, Laurent said, softly, ‘I’d like that.’

OH MY GOD!!!!
