Breston is a pig on a spit!
Then, in a sudden burst of movement, Ursuline lunged. The northerner, caught off guard, reacted a second too late. The swift blade found its mark, piercing through Breston's shoulder.

Before she could finish, the trumpet announced the start of the match. Maxi looked down at the arena with a horrified expression. Drawing their swords, the knights briefly exchanged cautious glances before simultaneously charging at each other. Maxi squeezed her eyes shut, unable to bear the sight of what seemed like a cat challenging a tiger.

That’s what was thinking - he’s pulling a Riftan!
"I doubt he has the time with that new lover of his," Gabel cut in. He was munching on a green apple, and he wiped the juice from his mouth before adding, "He's gotten himself entangled with another strong-willed woman whom he has promised to spend the rest of his time in Balbourne with. No one's seen him for days."

The crowd was overwhelming. Maxi took in the sight for a while before making her way toward the flag of Wedon. As she approached, some of the nobles directed curious glances at her. She pretended not to notice the noblewomen's overly familiar greetings and sat down in one of the empty seats. Socializing was the last thing she wanted to do.

He then turned and walked away without waiting for a reply. Maxi, puzzled, followed him like a goat tethered to a leash. Where was he taking her?

Riftan: must win quickly and cleanly so the present doesn’t get dirty. How he emerges, looking at his first victim:
Yet, his brow remained stubbornly creased. He brushed the handkerchief and mumbled, "I'm worried it will get stained."

"I wanted to give you something before your match." She pulled out a neatly folded handkerchief. "I planned to give it to you this morning… but you left before dawn, and I was forced to seek you out here. It's been extremely difficult to see my husband of late."

He’s sitting there, bored, polishing the sword he received after winning this tournament years ago, thinking he has to win to get a sword relic. Dude - can’t the prize be a little better than an imaginary sword?!?
For someone about to compete in a major tournament, Riftan's face was shockingly impassive, bordering on boredom. His eyes showed not a hint of excitement or nerves.

My initial reaction to those words 🤣🤣🤣
As high-ranking knights bypassed the preliminaries, Riftan's first duel took place long after the tournament had begun. After nervously looking around the waiting room, Maxi sucked in a breath when she spotted him sitting against the wall, polishing his sword.

Maxi wanted to be the one to scold him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Though Maxi had rushed there to chide him for the same reason, she was perturbed to learn that King Reuben had been scolding him.

"I hope I am not turning off your excitement about the palace," Hazel stated after noticing Alessandra's facial expression. "It can be a wonderful place when you don't think about the rules or the people. I know my situation sounds like a hassle but my marriage is fine and I am fine."

Hazel is such an enabler for Edgar’s antisocial tendencies and understands the need to hide from the king 😂😂
Hazel couldn't disagree with Edgar. She also wished Tobias would not be free today while the duchess was visiting. "No offense, Edgar but I also did not want you to be in the castle today. It is your wife I wanted. Tobias is not here which means there is time for you to flee and have a carriage pick up the duchess later or I can give her mine."

What Caleb really means:
'Thank goodness I do not have to be a third wheel today,' Caleb thought as he exited the carriage after Alessandra. He was surprised Edgar willingly came to the palace but it seemed like Edgar was trying to do everything to make his wife happy. 'How touching.'

Edgar to the coachman:
"Wait, Edgar touched her hand to stop her from getting out with the help of the coachman. "I will walk you up. I have to go this way anyway," he got out of the carriage first then offered Alessandra his hand for her to use to step out.

Everyone at the beginning of the book - and whenever snu was interrupted: Ursuline is the worst! Everyone now:
He sneered upon seeing Riftan. Leaning against the wall, he taunted, "I've never seen that face on you before. Is your dog's condition worse than you thought?"
