141 " El pasado de algunos atormenta el futuro de otros. "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash, #3)
142 " Muy pocos hombres no quieren ir a la guerra, mientras que casi todas las mujeres quieren acabar con ella. La mayoría creería que lo primero es lo que causa más derramamiento de sangre. Estarían equivocados. Lo segundo siempre es lo más sangriento y siempre requiere un gran sacrificio. "
143 " I will not replace the veil you loathed with a crown you hate...if you decide you want to take what is yours, claim the throne, I will set this entire kingdom on fire and watch it burn if that ensures that the crown sits on your head. "
144 " Only the King and Queen can stop war from happening now.""Then stop it," I exclaimed.Slowly, she turned her head to me, and the next breath I took hitched in my throat. I knew what she was saying without vocalizing the words--I knew what she meant when she continued saying that her generation wouldn't give the Ascended the chance to negotiate--that neither she nor King Valyn could do that again.Whereas Casteel and I could. "
145 " You've chosen things for yourself longer than you realize, Poppy - longer than you give yourself credit for. You always did when it mattered the most, and did so knowing the consequences. Because you're so brave. You were never the Maiden. You were never truly helpless. You were smart, strong, and brave. "
146 " —Para que lo sepas —murmuró Casteel, con las gruesas pestañas a medio camino—. ¿Lo qué acabas de hacer? ¿Decir? Me hace sentir todo tipo de cosas tremendamente inapropiadas en este momento.Una risa débil y temblorosa me abandonó. —Hay algo tan mal contigo.—Lo sé. —El lado izquierdo de sus labios se curvó y apareció su hoyuelo—. Pero te encanta eso de mí.Lo hacía. Dioses, realmente lo hacía. "
147 " My flesh sparked.Silvery-white embers erupted over my skin, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Casteel step back, and the wolves retreat. "Get 'em girl. "
148 " Mataría a todos los que se interpusieran entre Casteel y yo porque merecíamos estar juntos. Merecíamos un futuro, una oportunidad de explorar los secretos del otro. De amarnos el uno al otro. Merecíamos simplemente... vivir. Haría cualquier cosa para asegurarlo. "
149 " Quería recordar su rostro cuando el mundo se oscureciera. Quería recordar cómo se sentía estar en sus brazos, escuchar su voz y sentir su boca contra la mía. Quería recordar la forma en que sonreía cuando lo amenazaba, y cómo sus ojos se iluminaban y se calentaban cada vez que lo desafiaba. Quería recordar el orgullo que sentía por él cada vez que silenciaba a los que me rodeaban con palabras o con la espada. Quería recordar cómo tocó mis cicatrices con reverencia, como si no fuera digno de ellas, de mí. "
150 " So," he said, running his thumbs over my knuckles, "is it your choice to take the Crown?"My heart skipped a beat. "It is," I whispered. "
151 " Te amo, Penellaphe. Tú. Tu corazón feroz, tu inteligencia y tu fuerza. Amo tu infinita capacidad de bondad. Amo tu aceptación de mí. Tu entendimiento. Estoy enamorado de ti, y estaré enamorado de ti cuando respire por última vez y luego más allá en el Valle. "
152 " Because of what you have experienced in your short life, you of all people can wear the weight of a crown. "
153 " Oh, my gods!" I shrieked. "Not ropes! Not ropes! Snakes!""Holy shit," Delano gasped as Casteel shoved his sword through the back of the screaming skeleton. "That is so not right.""I regret the decision to join you all," Emil announced. "I regret this decision very much. "
154 " The first name I was born with is one you’ve probably heard. It was Isbeth. "
155 " Kirha said, winking when my eyes widened. “I’m not going to have this baby in the next week or so. Jasper will be here for the birth. "
156 " He had been many things to me. "
157 " With the last Chosen blood spilled, the great conspirator birthed from the flesh and fire of the Primals will awaken as the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction to the lands gifted by the gods. Beware, for the end will come from the west to destroy the east and lay waste to all which lies between. "
158 " I’d rather be optimistic than bigoted and close-minded, but I am never naïve. I have more than a thousand years on you,” she said softly, and I blinked. “Consider that before you speak so ignorantly, and maybe you will save yourself future embarrassment. "
159 " I love him,” I whispered. Kieran paused by my legs. “Are you just now figuring that out? "
160 " I keep my promises.” “As do I, "
