The Knight
Darlington - “Ninth House” by @lbardugo.
“ In the mirror, he saw himself, a knight with bowed head, offering his service, a sword in his hand, a sword in his back. He felt no pain, only the ache in his heart. Choose me. There were tears on his cheeks, even as he felt the shame of it. She was no one, a girl who had lucked into a gift, who had done nothing to earn it. She was his queen. ”
( I am fully aware of the fact that a sword CAN’T pierce steel armour - but that was an illusion, hence I’ll be like “anything goes” 😎)
