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.

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.
