"It makes so s…" Jack broke off as his hands fell away "I should have suspected so like this The four of them were always so talented eapons, so fast We’ve all seen the way AriaCaleb down You’ve never seen Daniel or David on a horse though, they’re a, and William may very well be the fastest human I’ve ever seen when he runs"

They exchanged a disconcerted look before Jack turned to hidohed as he rubbed his reddened throat "Don’t destroy our future queen, Braith"

"You’re an asshole," Braith hissed as he shoved past him
