The Wicked King
“You said that you thought Queen Orlagh was waiting for an advantage to declare war. Instead, I think she is trying a new ruler—one she hopes she can trick or replace with another indebted to her. She thinks me young and feckless and means to take my measure.”
“So what?” I ask. “Our choice is to endure her games, no matter how deadly, or engage in a war we cannot win?”
Cardan shakes his head and drinks another cup of tea. “We show her that I am no feckless High King.”
“And how do we do that?” I ask.
“With great difficulty,” he says. “Since I fear she is right.”

“I think of Madoc, dozing away upstairs, all his dreams of murder. I think of Oriana and Oak being forced apart for years. I think of Cardan and how he will hate me. I think of what it means to make myself the villain of the piece. "For the next full minute, I command you not to move," I whisper back.”

“You think I don’t deserve him,” I say to Cardan.
He smiles slowly, like the moon slipping beneath the waves of the lake. “Oh no, I think you’re perfect for each other.”

“But kissing Locke never felt the way that kissing Cardan does, like taking a dare to run over knives, like an adrenaline strike of lightning, like the moment when you've swum too far out in the sea and there is no going back, only cold black water closing over your head.”

He was right. Of course he was right.”

The Stolen Heir
“Someone tried to kill me. Again. Poison. Again. Someone else tried to recruit me into a scheme where we would kill my sister and Cardan, so I could rule in their place. When I told them no, they tried to kill me. With a knife, that time.'
'A poisoned knife?'
He laughed. 'No, just a regular one. But it hurt.”

“Jude never loved Locke.” My face feels hot, but my shame
is an excellent cover to hide behind. “She loved someone else.
He’s the one she’d want dead.”
I am pleased to see Cardan flinch. “Enough,” he says before
I can go on. “I have heard all I care to on this subject—”
“No!” Nicasia interrupts, causing everyone under the hill to
stir a little. It is immense presumption to interrupt the High
King. Even for a princess. Especially for an ambassador. A
moment after she speaks, she seems to realize it, but she goes
on anyway. “Taryn could have a charm on her, something that
makes her resistant to glamours.”
Cardan gives Nicasia a scathing look. He does not like her
undermining his authority. And yet, after a moment, his anger
gives way to something else. He gives me one of his most
awful smiles. “I suppose she’ll have to be searched.”
Nicasia’s mouth curves to match his. It feels like being back
at lessons on the palace grounds, conspired against by the
children of the Gentry.
I recall the more recent humiliation of being crowned the
Queen of Mirth, stripped in front of revelers. If they take my
gown now, they will see the bandages on my arms, the fresh
slashes on my skin for which I have no good explanation.
They will guess I am not Taryn.
I can’t let that happen. I summon all the dignity I can
muster, trying to imitate my stepmother, Oriana, and the way
she projects authority. “My husband was murdered,” I say.
“And whether or not you believe me, I do mourn him. I will
not make a spectacle of myself for the Court’s amusement
when his body is barely cold.”
Unfortunately, the High King’s smile only grows. “As you
wish. Then I suppose I will have to examine you alone in my
chambers.”

“To the High Queen of Elfhame,
Above me is the same silvery moon that shines down on you. Looking at it makes me recall the glint of your blade pressed against my throat and other romantic moments.
I do not know what keeps you from returning
to the High Court—whether it is vexation
with me, or whether, having spent time in
the mortal world, you have come to believe
that a life free of the Folk is better than one
ruling over them.
In my most wretched hours, I believe you will
never come back.
Why would you, save for your ambition?
You have always known exactly what I am
and seen all my failings, all my weaknesses
and scars. I flattered myself that at moments
you had feelings for me other than contempt,
but even were that true, they would be but
watered wine beside the feast of your other,
greater desires.
And yet my heart is buried with you in the
strange soil of the mortal world, as it was
drowned with you in the cold waters of the
Undersea.
It was yours before I could admit it, and yours
it shall ever remain.
Cardan”

You are in no mood for games. Very well. I am in no mood for them, either.
Let me write it outright: you are pardoned. I revoke your banishment. I rescind my words. Come home.
Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must.
Just come home.

“I raise a plastic glass. 'To family.'
'And Faerieland,' says Taryn, raising hers.
'And pizza,' says Oak.
'And stories,' says Heather.
'And new beginnings,' says Vivi.
Cardan smiles, his gaze on me. 'And scheming great schemes.'
To family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming great schemes. I can toast to that.”

“Vivi blows a noisemaker. 'Here,' she says, passing out paper crowns for us to wear.
'This is ridiculous,' I complain, but put mine on.
Cardan looks at his reflection in the door of the microwave and adjusts his crown so it's at an angle.
I roll my eyes, and he gives me a quick grin. And my heart hurts a little because we are all together and safe, and it wasn't something I'd known how to want. And Cardan looks a little shy in the face of all this happiness, as unused to it as I am. There will be struggles to come, I am certain, but right now I am equally sure we will find our way through them.”

“You who dwell in the shadows, I wish for you to stand with us sometimes in the light,' says Cardan. 'To each, I give a mask. When you wear it, no one will be able to recall your height or the timbre of your voice. And in that mask, let no one in Elfhame turn you away. Every hearth will be open to you, including mine.'
They bow and lift the masks to their faces. When they do, there's a soft of distortion around them.
'You are kind, my king,' says one, and even I, who know them, cannot tell which is speaking. But what no mask can hide is how, once they give their bows and depart, one masked figure takes another's gloved hand.
Or how the third turns his shiny metal face toward Taryn.”

“I let go of him and remain standing. I promised myself I would do this, if I ever had the chance again.. I promised I would do this the first moment I could.
'I love you,' I say, the words coming out in an unintelligible rush.
Cardan looks taken aback. Or possibly I spoke so fast he's not even sure what I said. 'You need not say it out of pity,' he says finally, with great deliberateness. 'Or because I was under a curse. I have asked you to lie to me in the past, in this very room, but I would beg you not to lie now.'
My cheeks heat at the memory of those lies.
'I have not made myself easy to love,' he says, and I hear the echo of his mother's words in his.
When I imagined telling him, I thought I would say the words, and it would be like pulling off a bandage- painful and swift. But I didn't think he would doubt me. 'I first started liking you when we went to talk to the rulers of the low Courts,' I say. 'You were funny, which was weird. And when we went to Hollow Hall, you were clever. I kept remembering how you'd been the one to get us out of the brugh after Dain's coronation, right before I put the knife to your throat.'
He doesn't try to interrupt, so I have to choice but to barrel on.
'After I tricked you into being High King,' I say. 'I thought once you hated me, I could go back to hating you. But I didn't. And I felt so stupid. I thought I would get my heart broken. I thought it was a weakness that you would use against me. But then you saved me from the Undersea when it would have been much more convenient to just leave me to rot. After that, I started to hope my feelings were returned. But then there was the exile-' I take a ragged breath. 'I hid a lot, I guess. I thought if I didn't, if I let myself love you, I would burn up like a match. Like the whole matchbook.'
'But now you've explained it,' he says. 'And you do love me.'
'I love you,' I confirm.
'Because I am clever and funny,' he says, smiling. 'You didn't mention my handsomeness.'
'Or your deliciousness,' I say. 'Although those are both good qualities.'
He pulls me to him, so that we're both lying on the couch. I look down at the blackness of his eyes and the softness of his mouth. I wipe a fleck of dried blood from the top of one pointed ear. 'What was it like?' I ask. 'Being a serpent.'
He hesitates. 'It was like being trapped in the dark,' he says. 'I was alone, and my instinct was to lash out. I was perhaps not entirely an animal, but neither was I myself. I could not reason. There was only feelings- hatred and terror and the desire to destroy.'
I start to speak, but he stops me with a gesture. 'And you.' He looks at me, his lips curving in something that's not quite a smile; it's more and less than that. 'I knew little else, but I always knew you.'
And when he kisses me, I feel as though I can finally breathe again.”

“The problem with coming through something terrible and big is that afterward, you're left feeling all the feelings that you shoved down and pushed away. For many long days, I have been terrified, and now, when I ought to be feeling great, what I want to do is hide under a table in the brugh with Cardan until I can finally convince myself he's all right.
And maybe make out with his face, if he's feeling up to that.”

“The brugh is full of turned-over tables and rotting fruit. A crack runs through the ground to the split throne, with its wilted flowers. Cardan spreads his hands, and the earth heals along the seam, rock and stone bubbling up to fill it back in. Then he twists his fingers, and the divided throne grows anew, blooming with briars, sprouting into two separate thrones where there was once only one.
'Do you like it?' he asks me, which seems a little like asking if someone enjoys the crown of stars they conjured from the sky.
'Impressive,' I choke out.”
