"Okay, turns out someone called Grace Gray is the narrator, and holds a degree in voice acting from Manchester Metropolitan University. LOVELY potential, with not a bit of skill when it comes to doing foreign accents. So bad that I'm almost tempted to DNF https://www.linkedin.com/in/thegracegray" — 13 hours, 38 min ago

If she told her guards to slit his throat, they would do it without hesitation. And then when she was tried for murder, as even a queen could be in Shu Han, they would give testimony against her.
“My eye fell on the sack of talints at my feet, and I reflected that now I really could just walk away with them, if I liked. Yet I decided that the odds of a solitary young criminal with a huge fortune on his person making it through a highly patrolled road that was often pestered with murderous deserters would either be slim to none or none at all. So instead of committing robbery, I made tea.”

“You want your prick gobbled up by a lurking turtle, then feel free to piss where you like,” said Malo. “It’s been so long since my prick was gobbled by anything, ma’am,” retorted Tangis, “that p’rhaps I’d not turn down a reaper-back’s kiss.”

“When Ana was finally admitted, the sheer amount of smugness radiating off her was so tremendous that it drew glares from nearly everyone.”
