“But uncle,’ said Laurent, ‘Guion isn’t who I brought.’
‘He brought me,’ said Guion’s wife Loyse, stepping forward.”

YAAAAASSSSS WOMEN. IN. POWER. ALWAYS.

“Laurent of Vere is guilty of every charge brought against him,’ said Guion.”

Not me screaming BCZ I knew this man was a SNAKE

“The sentry bowed his head to the Regent, said, ‘You are the King of Vere and not of Akielos, but the attack was against you, and a king’s judgement is sacred in the Kingsmeet. Pass your sentence.”

“Kill him,’ said the Regent.”

Ok all is well not me cry screaming or anything

“You mean, the only difference between us is that I chose the wrong brother?’
As the stars began to drift across the sky, Laurent thought about Nicaise, standing in the courtyard with a handful of sapphires.
‘I don’t think you chose,’ said Laurent.”

Plz I’m not even angry he has his own plans that’s Laurent for you im just sad at all of this 😞

“Damen looked out at the weird beauty of the gnarled landscape. He heard himself say, ‘Damianos will end slavery when he becomes King.”

“There was a knock at the door.
‘Come in,’ said Laurent, turning his head towards the sound.
Damen said, ‘Laurent,’ shocked”

PLZ HE HAS NO SHAME NO CARES IN THE WORLD IM DEADDD

“Because he was false,’ said Damen, ‘and you are true. I have never known a truer man.’ He said, into the stillness, ‘I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly.”

STAHP MY hEART 😩😩

“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.”

OMG STOP IM CRYINGGGG AKAAWKWARDDDD

“Laurent picked up the cup in front of him, drained it, then returned it to the table.
Makedon gave a slow nod of approval, lifted his own cup, downed it.
And said, ‘Again.”

NOT LAURENT DRINKING EIDNEIJD I ALREADY KNOW THIS GONNA GET CRAZY

“Damen picked up the discarded knife, and when Laurent’s eyes opened, he put it in Laurent’s hand. Braced it. Drew it to his own abdomen, so that they stood in a familiar posture. Laurent’s back was to the post.
‘Stop me,’ said Damen.”

PLZ THE PARALLELS AGHHH
