Even if their thirty-six gods did not care about him, he couldn’t risk it. He had seen Aelin do terrible things. He still dreamed of her gutting Archer Finn in cold blood. Still dreamed of what she’d left of Grave’s body in that alley. Still dreamed of her butchering men like cattle, in Rifthold and in Endovier, and knew just how unfeeling and brutal she could turn. He had quarreled with her earlier this summer about it—the checks on her power. The lack of them.
Bitch it’s been HOW LONG since you’ve seen her?! Plus all the good shit that came out of her brutality.!? Do you even know why she killed Archer? Bc I sure do. ALSOOOOOO a good ruler has to be able to be cold and calculating just as much as caring and understanding. That’s why you were never as good as you could’ve been. PLUS if your KING and BEST FRIEND can trust him with his life, you obviously don’t trust him as much as you claim if you don’t respect and blindly trust what he does.
You suck Chaol and always will. You judge Aelin for what she’s done when you were blindly brutal to others because you were told to be. YOU SUCK! I will never like you. Ever.
