1 " Myth believed books were precious "
― K.M. Shea , The Prince's Bargain (The Elves of Lessa, #3)
2 " Is Her Majesty, Queen Luciee of Calnor, an animal that intends to eat her own young? "
3 " You make me think that you elves are a bunch of raging alcoholics." "Its not our fault you humans can't hold your liquor. "
4 " He didn't think she knew just how truly he meant it, but he did. In fact, as he staggered through the palace with his translator, it occurred to Arvel how he'd give Myth whatever she wanted if she was willing to stay with him. "
5 " Then why are you proud?" "because she's an elf. Through her, all elves are raised. "
6 " I am sad for you that you are resorting to citing weak connections to claim a higher level of importance. I did not know you needed such praise to thrive. "
7 " Besides, you said I was your employer; haven't you heard of employee loyalty?"" I shall endeavor to display all signs of employee loyalty once you personally hand me my wages. "
8 " But he was so intense. And his smile... its like, he was a prince of seduction! "
9 " Arvel," she said. "My silly boy. What have you done?" "I buttered my muffin," Arvel blandly said. "
10 " What if I said I was hungry, but not for food? "
11 " Its astounding how well you know me." "It is the bond caused by pulling all-nighters. "
12 " I never dreamed I'd come to love someone as much I love Arvel. "
13 " And in his arms, with his lips pressed to hers, Myth knew she'd never be happier. "
14 " It’s fascinating, to think that I am living in a time of so many historic changes. Arvel smiled as he wove around the smattering of tables, then grimaced when another thought—this one unwanted—invaded his mind. Though perhaps I will not be so happy when I am forced to reckon with the changes myself in the far off day I am made king. History was, he imagined, not very much fun to live through. "
15 " Is comforting victims with food and drink a usual Honor Guard protocol? It seems…unexpected? "
16 " Sensible people. I thought they were a legend. "
