“It’s nothing compared to what the Carex will do,” I said, staring down at the blister. “If they get through the walls…”
She sounds like a grown woman
Where the heck is Spindle?
NUHUH
“I suspect you’d have an easier time fitting Mona!”
Yeah cuz yk she's buff and all
“I could hide in the palace,” she said. “There are very thick doors. I could spend the next two days cowering in a dark room, while my people die, waiting for the doors to finally be broken down, and the Carex to come for me. But I have cowered enough these last few months. I find that I fear that dark room more than I fear dying out here, in the open air.”
I fear she slayed. I respect her, she's a good leader except for the fact she's dragging a 14 years old to war. Thats a bit horrible TT
If she hadn’t been a baker, Aunt Tabitha would probably have been one of those northern warrior women with the big breastplates that sing opera and carry off the souls of the valiant dead.
Thats how badass she is
“His Lordship can stuff it in his arse!”
YOU GO GIRL
“The Golden General will make a good ruler. Probably a better one than I’ve been. I only pray that there will be enough left for him to rule.”
If you die Im killing myself
Aunt Tabitha whacked him with the hammer so hard that his helmet got knocked halfway around his head, and he fell down. She kicked him a few times.
slay
There was something stuck in his teeth.
BRO WHY DO YOU ALWAYS NOTICE THE MOST RANDOM THINGS
I guess really bad people all think they’re using each other and being really clever about it.
LOL
“You’ve got something stuck in your teeth.”
LMAO
“What is wrong with you?”
BROOOOO
“Oh yeah! That’s for Tibbie, you green monster! I ’ope you rot!”
MY BABY!
“You’re alive! I’m alive!” I started giggling hysterically, because otherwise I was going to sit down and sob right there in the alley. “We’re all alive! Except Nag! We’re all—urrgh—” My stomach clenched. I went down to my knees and last night’s dinner came back up.
I think she's still in shock
my gingerbread man was standing on my shoulder.
MY BABY #2
Argonel shoved him aside,
Dont do my boy like that
I knew, even as I hung limply in Aunt Tabitha’s grasp, that this would be the end of me. I had pushed the magic much farther than I thought I could, but it was done. If I tried to pour that much of myself into the slug, it would be with the energy that kept my heart beating and my lungs moving. I could send it oozing across the battlefield and blow it up, but that would be the last thing I did.
BRO NO YOU CANT DIE :(
Knackering Molly had called the dead horses of the city to its defense, and the horses had come.
NO MY BABE
shoved us back against the wall. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Argonel throwing his apprentice into a doorway.
I love him
The Carex army broke and ran.
YESSS
she was dead.
NOOOOOOOO TT
Nag was the only one left standing, and as we watched, he went down to his knees and stretched out his head along the ground by Knackering Molly, and then he was only old bones and rags of tattered cloth. That made me cry even harder, because that was when I knew it was really over.
:(((((
No one should.”
and Aunt Tabitha pointed out that I was fourteen and not nearly old enough to go traipsing about with the military.
She's my baby
It occurred to me that the Duchess probably hated these ceremonies almost as much as I did.
Fr nobody likes these
Joshua comes in sometimes for muffins.
My babe
Joshua actually carried me to bed.
My dream
If we tried, your Aunt would have something to say, and lord, I’d much rather face the Carex!”
Lmao that women can bodyslam me for all i care
And if I took it in my head to declare myself a wizard-emperor, like Elgar dreamed of doing…well, I hope like hell someone would stop me.”
Wow. He's also very hot in my head
And if I’m in a good mood, and you ask nicely, I might even make the gingerbread men get up and dance.
Awwww mona my baby :(
