The Cruel Prince starters
“I was never going to be happy with you.”
“Do not run from me. Not after what you’ve done.”
“”I’m never going anywhere with you.”
“I hate you. I will always hate you. I vow it.”
“I may be cruel, a monster, and a murderer, but I do not shirk my responsibilities.”
“It would be hard to forget, with all the reminders I am given.”
“We’re going to have fun tonight.”
“Did you think I didn’t see you there?”
“Dirt. It’s what you came from. It’s what you’ll return to soon enough.”
“Why did you dare them like that?”
“You’re better off being scared.”
“I have always been scared.”
“You do yourself too modest.”
“Horror of horrors, you might have a good time.”
“There’s always something left to lose.”
“Let’s have a toast. To the incompetence of our enemies.”
“Whatever you’re thinking, stop.”
“I am done with being weak. I am done with being good. I think I am going to be something else.”
“Have you lost your wits?”
“Maybe knowing a few relevant details about my past will make more sense of why I’m the way I am.”
“So, obviously, I didn’t tell anyone.”
“What would have been the point?”
“This isn’t like you. You don’t pick fights with people.”
“Why don’t you tell me how you want me to feel?”
“Now, isn’t that a good bargain?”
“That wasn’t part of the bargain.”
“Get up, sleepyhead. We’re going to the mall.”
“I’ll buy you coffee when we get there, coffee with chocolate and whipped cream.”
“Pretty good, but now you’re going to have to do something much worse. I have ideas.”
“So what do you want to do?”
“I am glad you lied for me.”
“How can anything done in the service of a noble cause be wrong?”
“Staving off the terrifying possibility of romance.”
“Oh, you’re going to regret that.”
“How good it feels, for once, to give up on regrets.”
“If I struck him, it would be because he made me do it.”
“Sometimes it makes me not like you.”
“There’s no winning against him. No matter how brave or clever or even cruel you are.”
“”Get down on your knees. Beg. Make it pretty, Flowery. Worthy of me.”
“I will keep hurting you until there is nothing left to hurt.”
“I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down.”
“I tried to do what you wanted, but I couldn’t.”
“It’s so hard to overcome so many disadvantages.”
“Let me sweeten that sour tongue of yours.”
“I hate it when you get like this.”
“I guess being beneath notice has advantages.”
“I will make them regret crossing me.”
“Is this what makes it fun for you?”
“Tell me. When will you cease being a disappointment?”
“I know what it is to say the clever thing because you don’t want anyone to know how scared you are.”
“Do you know what mithridatism is?”
“Why would I lie about something like that?”
“Now, where might you have gone off to?”
“You’re playing the great game of kings and princes, of queens and crowns, aren’t you?”
“I thought to compose an ode about it, but I am not very good at odes.”
“Just so you know, I don’t think it will be very hard to bend me to your will.”
“You’re not the way they said you would be.”
“I like playing pretend with you.”
“I did something really stupid.”
“You keep smiling a pleasant smile, but all I can see anymore is bared teeth.”
“Had you no plan for being found out?”
“Show your power by appearing powerless.”
“No doubt the weight of your regard is quite overwhelming.”
“You don’t need to protect me from my own decisions.”
“Do not aspire above your station.”
“My real skill lies in pissing people off.”
“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.”
“You’re good at this. Nice marksmanship and a stomach for violence.”
“I have something I’d like you to wear tonight. It’s a gift.”
“There is little good in me, but I owe you a debt, and I have sworn to do the best by you that I know how.”
“If you hurt me, I wouldn’t cry. I would hurt you back.”
“I don’t suppose you have any proof of that.”
“Surprised? You shouldn’t be.”
“Everything is spiraling into chaos, anyway. Might as well have some fun.”
“You have to admit, being alive is better.”
“Go ahead and run. I definitely won’t shoot you in the back.”
“Just tell me what I get to blow up.”
“Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”
“Now we understand each other exactly.”
“What if I could promise you revenge?”
“We don’t need to be good, but let’s try to be fair.”
“You’re a dirty liar and I hate it and I hate this.”
“I poisoned you. Don’t worry. It was a small enough dose. You’ll live.”
“It turns out I still don’t know how to laugh.”
“This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”
