Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Tell me how to prove to you that you can trust me,”
“I should put all four of your heads on a pike for treason. I just assaulted the Queen, and you cowards stood there and watched me do it. The next time someone lays a hand on her and you don’t kill them where they stand, I’ll carve out your eyeballs and feed them to the fucking hounds. It doesn’t matter if it’s me or the Regent or Blessed Mother Lumnos herself. Do your damn jobs and protect our Queen.”
“But rest assured, my Queen, when I do kiss you, there will be no confusion. You will know that I have claimed you—and I won’t have any desire to deny it.”
“That if a man made you doubt whether his love for you would survive anything, he does not deserve you.”
“You’re not going to die because I won’t let it happen.”
“With all due respect to my lovely cousin, the only person I’m getting down on my knees for is you, my Queen.”
“If a kiss is the reward, my Queen, I’ll get on my knees for you whenever you want.”
“You are the fate my heart was spared for. As long as it beats, you will never fight alone.”
“Yes, Diem, I want to serve you—in every way a man can.”
“On behalf of House Corbois, I, Luther Corbois, wish to Challenge the Queen.”
