‘Laurent. Why must you always defy me? I hate it when we are at odds, yet you force me to chastise you. You seem determined to wreck everything in your path. Blessed with gifts, you squander them. Given opportunities, you waste them. I hate to see you grown up like this,’ said the Regent, ‘when you were such a lovely boy.’

EWWWWW YOU DISGUSTING FREAK EWWWW! NO. JUST NO.

‘My nephew has argued for you very persuasively,’ said the Regent. And then, oddly echoing Orlant’s words, ‘You must have hidden charm. Maybe it’s your physique he finds so appealing. Or do you have other talents?’

Umm I'm pretty sure they both find the other got but nah I think Laurent did it bcuz he finds him honorable again it goes back to THAT conversation about helping the other Akielos slaves, I think.

‘Or,’ said Govart, in the slow voice of one who nevertheless gets there in the end, ‘are you the reason the Guard’s out?’

Noooooo he's sooo CLOSE!! this motherfucker i hate him.

There was obviously something on Nicaise’s mind, and he wouldn’t leave until he said it. Eventually: ‘Don’t tell him I came.’

I swear something is soo not right with this kid , other than the obvious ofc

The Regent’s expression changed. ‘I see you can’t be talked to. I won’t indulge your current mood. Petulance is ugly in a child and worse in a man. If you break your toys, it is no one’s fault but your own.’

Oh fuck this man he's disgusting can he please die??

Laurent’s fair skin and blue eyes were a combination that was rare in Patras, rarer in Akielos, and a particular weakness of Damen’s. The golden hair made it worse.‘Can’t afford a good horse?’ said Damen.‘Try to keep up,’ said Laurent.

The way Laurent is his type to a T!! If the roles were reversed, Damianos wouldn't have thought it's wrong to take him as a slave..

‘Your life would be a lot easier if you stopped baiting him,’ said Damen. This time coldly, flatly, ‘I told you to shut up.’

Says you 😂 look I'm realllyyyy not blaming him or anything but that is ironic

Laurent was a nest of scorpions in the body of one person. Torveld looked at him and saw a buttercup.

A perfectly accurate description i fear.

‘I think all I have to do is tell you to kneel, and you’ll do it. Without me lifting a finger to help anyone.’
‘You’re right,’ said Damen.
‘I can end this any time I like?’ said Laurent. ‘I haven’t even begun.’

Or never mind, i guess i was wrong... but that moment felt like it should've been it...

‘You would really sacrifice your pride over the fate of a handful of slaves?’ He had worn the same look on his face at the ring; he was gazing at Damen as though he was searching for an answer to an unexpected problem. ‘Why?’

I think this is the moment when Laurent started to like him... IM USING LIKE VERYYYY LOOSELY.
