C.S. Pacat Quote: “He dismounted. ‘Are you here to kill me?’ said Jord. ‘No,’ said Damen. There was a silence. They stood two paces apart. Jord had a knife drawn, and held it low, a white-knuckled fist around the hilt. Damen said, ‘You haven’t told him.’ ‘You don’t even deny it?’ said Jord.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “My lady did not trust the Regent of Vere to protect her interests. In the case that there was no other way to save her life, the wet nurse could be instructed to bring the child to you – in exchange for Jokaste’s freedom.’ Damen sat back in his chair, and lifted his brows slightly at Jokaste. Jokaste’s.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I will pledge,’ said Makedon, ‘if the Prince will ride.’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Damen knew that he had to lie. It was beyond dangerous to talk about this with Laurent.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “The problem with tents was that you couldn’t knock. Damen leaned his weight on one of the poles and called out. The delay from within was pronounced. Finally Jord appeared, shirtless and wide-shouldered. Rather than waste time tying laces, he was holding his pants up with a casual hand. The raised tent flap showed the source of the delay. Pale-limbed, tangled in bedding, Aimeric had pushed himself up on one elbow, flushed from his chest all the way up past his neck. ‘The.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “The King of Vere sends a message,’ said the herald. His.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Nikandros didn’t speak again. He just stared in silence, white as one who had been struck a blow. Then, as though one leg gave out, and then the other, he dropped slowly to his knees, an Akielon commander kneeling on the rough trampled stones of a Veretian fort. He said, ‘Damianos.’ Before.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “When he closed his eyes, he felt how it might have happened: slowly, Laurent’s mouth opening, Laurent’s hands lifting hesitantly to touch his body. He would have been careful, so careful. Aimeric.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Damianos, what happened to you?’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He let them see the cuff on his wrist, as he let them see him. He knew by now the ever-present whisper: Damianos, risen from the dead. He watched the army fall silent before him. He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “The ache of loss didn’t make sense, because Laurent had never been his.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Keep your mouth off my brother.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “After a moment: ‘At Ravenel, I – it had been a long time since I had – with anyone. I was nervous.’ ‘I know,’ said Damen. ‘There has,’ said Laurent. He stopped. ‘There has only been one other person.’ Softly, ‘I’m a little more experienced than that.’ ‘Yes, that is immediately apparent.’ ‘Is it?’ A little pleased. ‘Yes.’ He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Don’t,’ he said, ‘talk about it like – ’ ‘Like?’ ‘Like it was cold-blooded; like I controlled it. Like we didn’t both close our eyes and pretend I was a slave.’ He made himself say the exposing words. ‘I was your slave.’ ‘There.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I intend to survive, I intend to beat my uncle, and I will fight with every weapon that I have.’ ‘You mean that.’ ‘I mean to win. Did you think I was here altruistically to throw myself on the sword?’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I can’t protect you as I am now, Laurent had said. Damen hadn’t thought about what protection might entail, but he would never have imagined that Laurent would step into the ring on his behalf. And stay in it. “I.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Anger and frustration broke free of their bonds. “Because I am stuck here in this cage, and I have no other way to help them.” He heard the rage lash in his voice and tried to force it down, with limited success.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “His blue eyes were as innocent as the sky; only if you looked carefully could you see something genuine in them.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He said, ‘You chose a man who was bent on destroying his own country. You chose my brother, and look where it’s left you. You have no position, no friends. Even your own women have turned on you. Don’t you think it’s a shame things had to end this way between us?’ ‘Yes,’ she said. ‘Kastor should have killed you.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “If Torveld insists strongly enough, I think my uncle will agree to some sort of – loan – or, more accurately, a permanent arrangement couched as a loan, so that it will not offend our allies in Akielos. It’s my understanding that Patran sensibilities regarding the treatment of slaves are similar to your own.” “They are.” “I.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “You left out the part near the end, when it was so good I let myself forget what he’d done.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Now you are taking advantage of my kind-hearted instincts,’ Laurent said, a murmur into his ear. He drew back, but didn’t move away completely, nor did Laurent seem to expect it, the bedding shifting as Laurent sat beside him, as if it was natural for them to be sitting with their shoulders almost touching one another. He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “But I won’t be unprepared. Pretty little Aimeric is going to give up everything he knows, and when I’ve wrung every last word out of him maybe I’ll send what’s left to my uncle.’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He said, ‘Is there a child?’ ‘I have told you that there is,’ said Jokaste. ‘I wasn’t talking to you,’ said Damen. The attending women seated around Jokaste were of varying ages, from the eldest of perhaps sixty to the youngest, Jokaste’s age, around twenty-four.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “You just surprised me,’ said Damen. ‘Sometimes I think I understand you, and at other times I can’t make you out at all.’ ‘Believe me, that sentiment is mutual.’ ‘You said two reasons,’ said Damen. ‘What was the other?’ ‘The.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I wish to restate my strong objection,’ said Nikandros. ‘It’s noted,’ said Damen. Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “My orders are to hold,’ said Damen. ‘We let the Regent commit first, to draw him out of position.’ ‘If we do that, and your Veretian doesn’t arrive, we’ll all be killed.’ ‘He’ll be here,’ said Damen. From.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “And, perhaps out of this, a thin thread of respect was growing. It was apparent why his uncle had kept Laurent away from the reins of power: he was good at leading.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “That isn’t why. She would have chosen him even if you’d had royal blood in your veins, even if you’d had the same blood as Kastor. You don’t understand the way a mind like that thinks. I do. If I were Jokaste and a king maker, I’d have chosen Kastor over you too.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He’ll know,’ Damen heard himself say. ‘When word of my return to Akielos reaches him. He’ll know. I wish you would tell him then that I – ’ ‘You.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “It was like being pleased by a thorn blush, feeling fond of every prickle.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “There was no immediate disaster.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He lifted his hand to brush Laurent’s cheek, smiling. He was opening his eyes. ‘Damen,’ said Laurent. Damen’s heart moved in his chest, because the way Laurent said his name was quiet, happy, a little shy. Laurent had only ever said it once before, last night. ‘Laurent,’ said Damen. They.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Reporting to Jord, Damen found himself caught in a conversation that he wasn’t ready for. ‘I could tell from your face. You didn’t know he could fight.’ ‘No,’ said Damen. ‘I didn’t.’ ‘It’s in his blood.’ ‘The Regent’s men seemed just as surprised as I was.’ ‘He’s private about it.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I see. You’re warning me again not to bed him?’ ‘No,’ said Nikandros. ‘I know you’re going to bed him. I’m saying that when he lets you, think about what he wants.’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Charcy is claimed for Akielos.’ As he rose, Damen wrapped his hand around its wooden pole and planted it in the earth. The.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Very well. Let us play this out. You’re concerned for the well-being of the other slaves? Why hand me that kind of advantage?” “Advantage?” said Damen. “When someone doesn’t like you very much, it isn’t a good idea to let them know that you care about something,” said Laurent. Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He remembered Jord saying, You ever wonder what it would feel like to find out you’d spread for your brother’s killer? I think it would feel like this. The.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “He felt Jord draw up beside him. ‘He’s gone for a ride,’ said Jord. ‘It was his habit in the palace, too, when he needed to clear his head. Not the type for goodbyes.’ ‘No,’ said Damen. He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Dare you to make a run for it.’ He said nothing. He was not here to run. It was a strange feeling to be unchained and riding with a group of Veretian soldiers of his own free will. A.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Auguste was like you,’ said Laurent. ‘He had no instinct for deception; it meant he couldn’t recognise it in other people.’ ‘And what about you?’ said Damen, after a difficult breath. ‘I have a highly developed instinct for deception.’ ‘No, I meant – ’ ‘I know what you meant.’ Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “And then there was a burst of activity from the lower gate, and a rider came into the courtyard: it was Laurent. He was not here in a last-minute change of heart. Damen only had to look at Laurent to know that he had intended to stay away until Damen was gone, and was not pleased to have been forced to return early. He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “I know you,’ Touars said again. Damen’s sword went in, and instinct pushed forward and drove it in further. ‘Damianos,’ Touars said. ‘Prince-killer.’ It was the last thing he said. Damen pulled the sword out. He took a step back. He.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Or perhaps it was the idea of a new victory, satisfying because it would be of a different kind. First smash the Regent, then pull the wool over his eyes. Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Death and life; past and future; Akeilos and Vere. Kastor let out a choked sound, his eyes shocked and wide. Because Laurent wasn’t Auguste. And the stumble wasm’t a mistake, it was a feint.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “You are too quick to pledge yourself to me.’ He felt the hard, bright edges of the pin in his fist. ‘You are my King,’ said Nikandros. He saw it reflected back at him in Nikandros’s eyes, as he had seen it in the eyes of the men. He felt it, in the different way Nikandros behaved towards him. King. The.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Now, Laurent was beside him. Aloof, untouchable Laurent was beside him, kneeling on the wet marble hundreds of miles from home, with nothing in his eyes but Damen.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “For the first time, he caught a glimmer of what Laurent would be like as a king. He saw him, not as the Regent’s unready nephew, not as Auguste’s younger brother, but as himself, a young man with a collection of talents thrown into leadership too early, and taking it on, because he was given no other choice. I would serve him, he thought, and that itself was like a little revelation. ‘I.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “For a moment he thought Laurent wasn’t going to do it. But in public, Laurent had no recourse to refusal. Laurent extended his hand. And then waited, palm outstretched, his eyes lifting to meet Damen’s. Laurent said, ‘Put it on me.’ Every.”
C.S. Pacat Quote: “Men find themselves in the places they put themselves.”
