Esteve.
This name looks like how Spanish-speakers pronounce Steve, so I'm calling him eh-Steve
She had not dressed herself in Montfaucon’s colors; she wore scarlet silk like a banner of rebellion, and dark-red ribbons had been woven through the heavy mass of her curling golden hair.
Probably afraid she'd be mistaken for a courtesan.
“Rumors of my departure have been greatly exaggerated.”
lol, nice paraphrase of Mark Twain
Still smiling, Antonetta says, “I truly don’t think that would present much of a problem, Monseigneur.”
Well if Lin gets exiled, she can give it to her. But my guess is she's thinking of Kel, who can't take it and Conor can't tell her why
“A Princess has little opportunity to meet gardeners and cooks.”
Does she NOT live in a castle ?
‘They are trying to prevent me from becoming what I am.’ ”
Odd
“I don’t want Artal to be my first. I want it to be you.”
ah shit. That happened in the 2nd Outlander book and look how that turned out! They're in a brothel so there is at least a chance some protection will be used.
“Had you tried, you would have found yourself exiled as well. And we needed you. You are a Prince of the Ashkar. Your responsibility is not to one single person, but to your people.”
There are other princes or cousins or whatever, he only had one son!
It will all go back to the way it was, she tells herself. As soon as the Belmany dynasty snatches back its power, Malgasi will be great again.
oh great! She wants to "make Malgasi great again". sounds familiar
she does not want Seven to know how much it alarms her that Beck had circumvented her so easily. She had made a mistake in trusting Artal not to be a fool.
Yes THAT was her mistake. 🙄she shouldn't have trusted a human shit stain to not get himself killed for something that had nothing to do with her or politics
There is more to the bond between a Prince and his Sword Catcher than you know. The Malgasi fear it. And as long as they thought they would have Conor one day, that the Belmany line would not lose all the power the blood of the fire-bird has given it…
Sounds like their lives are bound, like in FBAA
He turned into the Maze, heading down Arsenal Road.
oh ☹️ I really thought he'd find Aden and hop on the Black Rose and finally live out his childhood dream of sailing around the world. That seems like where half of the next book would be taking place anyway.
anything. I wanted it for you.”
I figured that out in ch 6.
They had promised each other that one day they would visit the far south, where the stars were different.
so will that be in the epilogue of the final book, since it's not happening any time soon?
