˗ˏˋ cr: the queen of nothing by holly black ˎˊ˗

i fucking hate cardan’s mother

wait a minute.... taryn did what??

“jude never loved locke.” my face feels hot, but my shame is an excellent cover to hide behind. “she loved someone else. he’s the one she’d want dead.”

QUEEN SHIT

“unfortunately, the high king’s smile only grows. “as you wish. then i suppose i will have to examine you alone in my chambers.”

omggg he knows it’s jude

CARDAN CAME FOR HER OMG

hmm maybe taryn deserves some rights

“she is my wife,” cardan says, his voice carrying over the crowd. “the rightful high queen of elfhame. and most definitely not in exile.”

“oh, i don’t know,” i say. “maybe he’d like to hear me scream.”
“i would,” cardan says, standing. “and perhaps one day i will.” on the way out, his hand goes to my hair. a light touch, barely there, and then gone.”

“BY YOU, I AM FOREVER UNDONE.”

“in the mortal world, when i thought you were my enemy, i still missed you.”
