“She was unruly? What did she do, kick you with her one leg? Bump you with her stump?”

I let out a short laugh at Krush’s unexpected rhy like I expected hi Krash’s only son, but it is obvious that the previous king did not treat him like he was special Rath appears to have been a favorite of the king, judging by the bitterness Krush displays when he speaks

Krush is a king who does not like authority

That thought strikes me just as Krush strikes Tyvian with a backhanded blohich sends the dungeon ht Tyvian does not dare contradict his king, not in word, and certainly not in deed I think if they were to fight on equal footing it would probably be an equal affair But he would never fight back One does not fight one’s king, after all He also does not cower, and he does not try to defend hinize, having been on the receiving end of brutality myself many times

Krush stops hie to Tyvian, but I can see that he wants to hurt hied by what has happened to me

“Nobody lays a finger on this human besides me I don’t care if she sets the palace on fire I a you of this prisoner”

“Thank you, sire”

Itto have to thank the korabi who just beat you down like a redheaded stepchild, but Tyvian doesn’t let it show I can’t iuess I will never know Krush is pickingI won’t be seeing Tyvian, or his cells, again for a long time

The human in my arms is precious I do not knohy By all objectiveas a whipping girl for all humanity’s recent sins She is soft and warical trust which would feel sickening to betray
