Kindle Notes & Highlights
She was used to the little orange light. It came up all the time. It meant that someone was lying.
“It’s not a hover. It’s a car. A gasoline car.”
“I’m not sure I would label it a ‘survivor,’” said Iko, her sensor darkening with disgust. “It looks more like a rotting pumpkin.”
Interesting
“You probably have a client list a mile long. I shouldn’t expect royal treatment.” His mouth twitched. “Although I guess I do anyway.”
“Miss Linh, from your blood samples I have deduced that you are, in fact, Lunar.”
Lunar. And cyborg. And a fugitive.
“Maybe her programming was overwhelmed by Prince Kai’s uncanny hotness.”
Lol
“Nope, nothing. Maybe she’s been ignoring my comms on purpose.” “Maybe she’s been busy?”
“Come on. I can’t take you to the…B-word; I can’t take you to lunch. Short of my unplugging the processor on one of my androids, this could be the last time we ever see each other.”
Looool
“Take it,” he said, and flashed his signature prince-charming grin, as if he were completely unfazed. “And think of me.”
Inside was the finest pair of gloves she could have imagined. Pure silk and shining silver-white. They were tall enough to cover her elbows, and a row of seed pearls along the hems added the simplest touch of elegance. They were gloves fit for a princess.
“Why, Linh-mèi, what a pleasure. We are so glad you could join us tonight.”
It was not her fault he had liked her. It was not her fault she was cyborg. She would not apologize.
“Of course, she should.” There was a lightness to his words, as if he believed his presence alone could dissolve Adri’s hostility. He fixed his gaze on Cinder. “She is my personal guest.”
Without hesitating, Cinder wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
“That’s enough,” said Kai. “I don’t care where she was born. Cinder is a citizen of the Commonwealth. I will not have her arrested.”
Kai peeled his eyes away, finding some place of resignation off in the glistening garden. “You’re even more painful to look at than she is.”
NO
“My dear girl. You are Princess Selene.”
Wtf
