"You come to the throne at a time of great upheaval." "There is always upheaval," I said. "Only the reasons for the troubles change."

I don`t think anyone can predict what Conner will do. It`s what makes him so dangerous.

"Hail His Majesty, the scourge of my life," Conner said to Roden and Tobias as he stomped up the stairs. "I fear the devils no longer, because I have the worst of them right here in my home!"

This is the way of life for royals. They do their duty to their country, and if they are very lucky, it will sometimes bring them happiness.

"He knows you`re lying," she whispered. "Am I such a bad liar?" "I`ll have to wait until you tell the truth so I can compare the differences."

"Have you come here to kill me?" I asked. "Because I`ll scream when you do and it`ll wake up the princess and probably a whole lot of other people, and you`ll get into trouble." "You`ll be dead." "Yes, but you`ll be in trouble."

"Is that a challenge?" he asked. "I`d never challenge an inferior. Now go to sleep. You`ll need rest before whatever humiliation comes your way tomorrow"

"Cregan is skilled with a sword, but he`s self-taught," Mott warned. "With him as your teacher, you will learn to fight, but your style will not reflect the training of a prince." "My lessons with you will help me pass for a prince," Roden said. "But Cregan`s lessons will keep me alive."

"How strange that you should punish me by ensuring I come out more educated than Roden, who has tried to obey you."

"The saddest thing is there won`t be anyone to miss us when we`re gone. No family, no friends, no one waiting at home." "It`s better this way," I said. "It`ll be easier for me, knowing my death doesn`t add to anyone`s pain." "If you can`t give anyone pain, then you can`t give them joy either."
