By God’s grace,
I actually had some free time for once, so I whipped up this month’s Quote Queste entry! This month’s Quote is:
I don’t know if
I’ll actually use this scene in my current WIP, Prince Nácil, but it kinda fits the mood of the book, and Nácil’s
character in particular.

“They used to
shout my name,” he murmured, “greeting me with joyous smiles. Our people loved
their Royal Family…but now….” He sighed. “After all these years—after all that
has happened in Ýdära—I cannot help but wonder if there are any left who even
remember the House of Othniel.”
“Many, your
Majesty,” Lady Müriel assured him. “There are few of our people who do not hate
and fear Iceheart for what she has done to Arboria—and to yourself. They dare
not so much as speak your name aloud, but they do whisper it…with hope.”

He turned his
head, frowning in puzzlement at her. “Hope?” he echoed. “How can my name give
our people hope?”
She looked him
straight in the eye, her own eyes shining, her voice firm, yet gentle. “They live in
hope, Sire, that you will return, and defeat Iceheart, and reclaim the throne.”
He exhaled
heavily and nodded solemnly. “It would appear that Elyon has sent me here to do
just that…or to die in the attempt,” he intoned, adding under his breath,
“which is more likely at this point.”

Until next time,
Gentle Readers,
God bless,
