midnight_dreary1mthCommentedThat’s a little much to ask
Sejuleu shook his head, laughing dryly. "How kind. But it is not me I'm asking you to spare; it's Richard Breston. No matter how vile he is, I bid you to uphold your knightly honor."- midnight_dreary1mthCommented
This is a full circle moment !
When he attempted to rise, Maxi firmly stopped him. "No. You could aggravate your wound." - midnight_dreary2mthCommented
This is giving Queen Charlotte’s “I’ll say! I command it!”
"O-Of course not. What would people think if I was absent during my husband's match?" Maxi replied with a snort. - midnight_dreary2mthCommented
Same energy
"Y-You make it sound as though I go around causing trouble!" Maxi sputtered. "If anything… I am the one solving them." - midnight_dreary2mthCommented"You seem to underestimate your knack for attracting danger, my lady," Ursuline said curtly. "We must be cautious even within the basilica."
- midnight_dreary2mthReplied to Daniella_Lombardo
You’re the real MVP!
Ruth, as if to say he had suffered long enough, remained brazenly unconcerned. "The king uses the conservative nobles' objections as an excuse to put off granting Sir Riftan a title, but not even that conniving man will be able to stall much longer." - midnight_dreary2mthCommented
The only one who didn’t grow is you, Rosetta.
Rosetta's expression grew stony. Abruptly rising from her seat, she angrily spat, "I see that I was mistaken. You haven't changed at all. You are as helpless as ever." - midnight_dreary2mthCommentedMaxi stared at her sister. It almost sounded as if Rosetta wanted her to do just that. Was she urging Maxi to step in and derail their father's long-cherished ambitions?
- midnight_dreary2mthCommented"You still can't take a joke," Rosetta said, sighing. She directed the four knights and two ladies-in-waiting behind her with a curt nod. "You will wait here."
- midnight_dreary3mthCommentedThe knights were already dispersing to avoid the golem. Holding onto Garrow for support, Maxi made a hasty retreat on unsteady legs. Soon, the ground trembled as the golem's massive, dark red head and body rose out of the earth. She gaped in astonishment; it was far bigger than they had calculated.

Daddy Garrow
"I will not stand for this! I did not complain when I was excluded from the Dragon Campaign, but I refuse to comply this time!" Garrow snarled, his shoulders heaving in anger. - midnight_dreary3mthCommentedCalto responded calmly, "I was told you chose not to present it because you feared it would trap you in Nornui. However, the Tower has drastically revised its standards on forbidden magic. Yours likely would not be classified as such anymore."
- midnight_dreary3mthCommented"It's what we have started calling the mutant lizardmen created by the dark mages. It has a ring to it, don't you think? The mages of Sigrew came up with it," Sidina chimed.
- midnight_dreary4mthCommentedCould it be another legion of monsters? She watched the shadow in terror. Her eyes grew wide when she made out the hazy outline of a red banner billowing in the snow flurries, and her legs nearly gave out in relief. The army that had gone northwest had finally arrived.
- midnight_dreary4mthCommentedA heartbeat later, the hook, propelled like a boomerang, pierced another monster standing on the second-floor balustrade. Kuahel forcefully yanked the steel chain, and the monster was helplessly pulled along like a fish caught on a hook, its scaly head severed from its large, agile body.

You wouldn’t have to tell me twice
"From here on, you must stay close to me at all costs." - midnight_dreary4mthCommentedA hint of displeasure flashed in the Temple Knight's green eyes. Cocking his head, he asked in a low voice, "Do you think I would not do my best to keep you safe without such a vow?"
- midnight_dreary4mthCommentedMaxi shrank back in fear and glanced at the battlefront. She could see Riftan looking over his shoulder in her direction. She wondered if he was also distraught by the sudden turn of events.
- midnight_dreary5mthCommented"Ah, then it must be for reasons you cannot share," he replied, smirking. "Were you perhaps banished from court after a scandal?"
