Laurent said, ‘Our men have the gates and the halls. Ios is yours.’
‘And you,’ said Damen. ‘With your uncle gone, there won’t be resistance. You have Vere.’
‘And the centre. We both hold the centre,’ said Laurent. And then: ‘It was one kingdom, once.’

Omgggg yessss

‘ No,’ said Damen. He tried to move, and hit the limits of the chain. He said, ‘Laurent, he’s my brother.’

I REALLY WANNA HIT HIM. AND YES IM TALKING ABOUT DAMEN BCUZ OMG DUDE ARE YOU CRAZY???

‘Thank you,’ said Kastor, ‘brother.’ And he drew a knife from his belt, and ran it straight through Damen’s unprotected body. The shock of betrayal hit a moment before the physical pain that drove him a step back.

OH MY GOD DAMEN YOU ARE SOOOO STUPIDLY NICE AND NAIVE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST FORGAVE HIM GOD JUST BE MAD WANT REVENGE!!!

‘I didn’t want you made a slave. When the Regent asked for you, I refused. It was Jokaste. She convinced me to send you to Vere.’
‘Yes,’ said Damen. ‘I’m beginning to understand that she did.’
Another step.
‘I’m your brother.’ Kastor said it, as Damen took another step, and then another. ‘Damen, it’s a terrible thing to kill your own family.’

Fuck this guy.

‘This is the proof that King Aleron was killed by his own brother.’

Killed his brother and raped his nephew what a deplorable man. I'm soo disgusting

‘The last words of my brother, the archer Langren, carried by the soldier called Govart, and stolen by the Regent’s pet, Nicaise, who was killed for it. This is the testimony of the dead.’

Rest in peace Nicaise.

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...
