Rennick once asked his father why the rebels hated the royals so much, and his father said, “You will always be someone else’s villain, whether you deserve the title or not. Your duty is to ensure their hate is unjustified.”
“No one will harm a hair on your head or speak ill of you, and if they try, I will mount their heads on the front gate.” “Stop threatening to kill people,” she whisper-yelled, calming slightly at his touch. “You can’t murder someone for not liking me. You would likely have no kingdom left.” He straightened and shrugged. “It would be easier to manage.”
My father said fear makes people dangerous.”
Annoyance pulled at her mouth. “Your right arm.” “Where on my right arm?” She stared for a moment and touched his upper arm lightly. “Here.” Leaning down, he removed a dagger from his boot, held it against his skin, and sliced downward, flicking his wrist outward to remove a thin layer of skin.
“I’m a human.” “Your ears were clipped when you were born to hide your heritage,” Amos explained, his voice cautious.
“I won’t destroy your things,” he conceded, “but I’m buying you new ones. Prepare to go shopping next week.” She flashed him a triumphant smile. “I plan on wearing one of my dresses and my boots tomorrow.” He looked horrified. “You will not get married in clothes you hate.” “You can’t tell me what to do,” she shot back, hiding a smile.
“Get off the ground,” she hissed, glancing at the others. “I just needed you to bend a little.” “I am where I have always been, love: at your feet, waiting for you to claim me as your own.”
