BIRDIEEEEE

I’m such an idiot.

I spent so much time trying to convince Corrick that Rian was good, that this wasn’t a trick or a trap.

And now Kilbourne is dead.


YES, YOU ARE, TESSA

HOLY PLOT TWIST?!!!

“I’m not leaving our injured king—”

“I’m ordering you.”

The carriage slows further, but his eyes don’t leave mine. “Then I suppose you’ll have to have Corrick issue a decree of punishment, Your Majesty.”

“Quint!”


YAYYY. I LOVE HARRISTAN+QUINT. I PREDICTED IT IN BOOK1 ONLY🤭🤭

I don’t like who you pretend to be.” I swallow, and it hurts. “I love the man I think you are


the man i think you are?!!!
wtf, tessa!!!
stfu.

He takes a step closer to me, and I hold my breath. I half expect him to ask for something just to aggravate Corrick. A kiss. An hour alone. An embrace.

But Rian’s eyes hold mine, and he doesn’t ask for any of those things


DESPERATE MUCH, TESSA?!!!

“Oh, stop being so cynical!” I snap. “Rian doesn’t have questionable motives.”

That draws him up short, but I’m not entirely sure why. Corrick stares back at me, but he says nothing.

After a moment, the tension is just too great. I can’t take it. “What?” I demand.

“I wasn’t talking about Rian,” he says slowly. “I was talking about Lochlan.”

“I’m not done. Any distance between us at court was because I respect your work and I value your intelligence, and I did not want to give anyone cause to doubt the integrity of either.” His voice is so low, but so intense, lending weight to every single word. Every syllable. “I resent that a man with questionable motives has instilled such … misgivings in you.”

“You can be angry at my words, and you can take issue with my actions. Hate me if you like, but you know I’m right. I have never harmed you, and I’ve never taken advantage of you. When you snuck into the palace, I did everything I could to keep you safe—including offering you the opportunity to leave. I put a bag of silver in your hands, Tessa. A dagger right off my belt.”

All true. I swallow. “Corrick …”

“It’s discouraging to think that you would climb onto a ship that’s out of the public eye and see it as an opportunity to get under my skirts.”



What did corrick ever do to you?!!!
DID I TELL YOU I HATE TESSA?!

My heart is beating so fast. “Corrick,” I whisper.

His eyes finally meet mine. “I know people expect the worst of me,” he says quietly. “I didn’t realize you were among them.”





THAT'S WHY I'LL ALWAYS BE A TESSA-HATER.
THERE BETTER BE SOME GOOD CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

The hell with your cynicism, Corrick.


THE HELL WITH YOU, TESSA (¬_¬")

“You can’t fight all my battles, little brother.”
“You heard them?”
“You think I don’t hear it from our own servants?” He didn’t wait for an answer; he just unfastened his jacket. “Here. Put this on. You’ve ripped your shirt.

I put on his jacket and buttoned it closed.
...

His jacket. This jacket. I’d forgotten all about that moment.
Geoffrey wouldn’t have packed this.
Which means my brother did.

"Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!"



as much as i despised the characters in wuthering heights... the writing's so beautiful. almost ethereal. AND THAT IS WHY I CAN NEVER BRING MYSELF TO RATE THAT BOOK

"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger"

"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

my fingers dig into Captain Blakemore’s arm until I catch my balance. But then a second gust tilts the deck in the opposite direction, and I stumble forward, right into his chest.

He catches me easily, keeping me upright, seeming to have no trouble with the motion of the ship. I inhale sharply, because it puts us very close.


BLEHHH. HATE TESSA'S POV😤

The captain is so principled. His people are so loyal.

Kandala’s people are terrified of Prince Corrick. In the candy shop, for a spare moment, I was terrified of Prince Corrick. I wonder what that says about his character.




GO TO HELL, TESSA. IDC😠😠

I sense a love triangle 😒


Tbh, i couldn't care less about Tessa. But don't you DARE hurt my CORRICK 🔪🔪🫠

"Then again, if we were openly involved, I’d drag her into my chambers and we wouldn’t leave for a week."


🤭
Uhmmm-
CORRICK😩😩

tbh, i couldn't care less about Tessa.
BUT BUT BUT
CORRICK---

Can i have a corrick pls🥺🥺

Fear seems to pierce my heart from both directions. “Is that supposed to be a warning or a threat?”

Lochlan smirks. “Maybe you shouldn’t have walked out of the palace without guards,” he says.

“Maybe she shouldn’t have,” says a voice behind me, “but I brought more than enough.”



AHHHHH

Why do I have a feeling that Lochlan is going to one of my fav male characters?! 😩

(Pls don't let him get a personality transplant further ahead🙏😥)

Mind your mettle

WTF?!!

Robin finds PB Shelley overly dramatic!!
XD
