okay, so hear me out. i’ve been seeing a lot of people stressed that Jude betrayed Cardan’s one request to not murder Balekin, and i have come to testify on her behalf. 

i don’t know if anyone has said this already, but i’ve been rereading TFOTA- as one does when the stress of life compels them- and something clicked this time through that didn’t click with me before.

I. The Crown’s Curse

in chapter 17 of The Cruel Prince, Jude asks Dulcamara in a lecture what would happen if someone tried to steal the crown instead of having it placed upon their head by another in Mab’s bloodline. this is Dulcamara'a response:

“The crown is cursed so that a murder of its wearer causes the death of the person responsible.” (p. 175, TCP)

Jude basically is just like “huh. interesting.” and goes on with her day. but three chapters later, in chapter 20 (otherwise known as the Death chapter), Eldred takes the crown off his head. 

Like, Boomers hate when we do that, but I think it’s one of the best things about us.
