Your hand darts out to pull a glass of white wine off the servers silver gilded tray. He gives you a conceringly wide smile and you see inkdrop eyes twinkle under his lacy mask. You sip your drink, nursing the expensive goblet in your gloved hands watching the waiter waltz away to attend more guests. People around you dance and sway feverishly to the sweet music being played by bards on instruments youve probably never heard of. Out of the corner of your eye you see folk chatter and pick at the delicacies displayed on the ornately carved tables. It struck you how different your (mostly) human upbringing was compared to Faerie parties.Your upbringing in the human world had accousumed you to the sweaty dizziness and the flashing lights of mortal parties, folk parties are in their own right dizzying. Long doublets made of leaves, and dresses made of material as soft as fog swirled around you made of the color of fog or sun glinting off water. A creative array of masks covered everyone's faces, many resembling creatures you could not name. In the heart of all this commotion was a great throne, covered in soft furs and draped in courtiers. Everyone in the room could see High King Cardan lounging on his throne his golden crown tilted to the side, night black hair curled around it. A pixie woman with fluttering wings was perched on his lap tipping a jewel encrusted goblet of faerie wine towards his mouth and kissing the spilled drops off his lips. You watch her with trepidation and pull a thin discreet needle from a hidden strap under your sleeve. The High King made being his guard more trouble than it was worth with stunts like this. Jude had warned him about things like this so many times, and if she knew how linient you were as a guard she would throw a fit. You knew how she hated it when you slacked like this and let things off the hook, but you were confident in your abilitys. Despite your relaxed manner she had chosen you out of all her spy's for a reason, she didn't doubt your ability either. You eyes continued to bore holes into cardans head, and you moved to get closer to him deciding on caution. Pitch black eyes sparkled and swiveled across the room taking in his court, he was clearly already drunk which wasn't suprising concidering his noticable dependence on alchohol. He shifted around room looking at the platters on the tables with his posse of folk trailing him. You wedged yourself into the crowd slipping through it with ease you eyes on the pixie girl clinging to him. Finally getting close enough to Cardan for him to notice your presence you reached past the pixie girl pulling a little a small snack off the table and popping it in your mouth, neither the pixie girl nor Cardan noticed when you quickly stuck the seditive covered needle in her arm.
"How are you this evening High King?" He looked at you a smirk plastered over his face letting the pixie girls arm drop back to her side.
"I'm enjoying this celebration in my honour, and you?" You smiled right back at him watching the pixie girl slip away presumably to find someplace to sleep off the 5mg of Concentrated Dream Lily pollen you had previously pricked directly into the cephalic vein in her forearm. Cardan for one didnt notice her leaving.
"Jude ordered me to urge you to go back to your rooms if you got too drunk, you have important guests tomorrow." He narrows his eyes and scowls and you see him swallow his desire to stay. He wipes the displeasure off his face and tell the group lingering a bit behind him about him retiring to his rooms. You follow him out letting him take the lead back to his rooms. Despite leaving early he seems content, his tail flicking back and forth lazily.
" Join me for a drink in my room?" He smiles at you.
" You seem like you've had more than enough wine for the both of us." He doesn't look surprised at your answer but presses on anyway
" You seemed to enjoy your glass earlier? I wonder what my senschal would say if she saw you drinking on the job?" you bristle at his threat deciding whether on how severely Jude might react.
"Just one glass wouldn't hurt" you wince

Ngl I got lazy from the end, anyways enjoy.
Cardans room is dimly lit by the dying embers of a fire. The servants must have lit it to keep the room warm against the bite of Elphames winter. Cardan shrugs off his black cloak letting it rest on the back of the upholstered chairs by the fireplace. He pulls an unopened bottle of wine off the mantle popping the cork of with ease. You sit yourself down on one of the chairs letting your self relax an inch. He sits down horizontal to you puring and handing you a glass. You let your eyes linger on his hands slender and pale, littered in intricate silver rings. You take the goblet pacing yourself with a small sip. Your shift watching Cardan was almost over so you weren't worried about getting caught drinking on the job. The wine was delicious, the warmth of the drink spreading to your extremities.
"Do you like the wine little spy?" Cardan seems to be pacing himself too, likely in anticipation for his audience the next day.
"It's good, makes the cold less intense." He watches you take another sip, The golden ring around his pupil boring into you.
"Well if you were cold I would have gladly offered my cloak, we even could have shared it" he winks at you making you roll your eyes and snicker.
"I think you just want to see me in your clothes" you retort a coy smile playing on your face.
" My clothes would look good on anyone, my style is impeccable." He takes another deep sip of wine keeping eye contact with you "Your clothes look good on you, they would look even better decorating the floor" that makes you flat out laugh and Cardan chuckles too turning his back towards you and stumbling towards his massive four poster bed. Cardan lays down on the bed with a sigh, stretching out, laying his head down.
“Tell me, was that needle to get me alone? Did you want to see what i looked like sprawled on the bed in such a vulgar manner?” He looks at you from where he lays, his top few buttons undone bathed in soft fire light. His voice is smug and haughty as he watches you follow him towards his bed.
"I didn't know you were paying such close attention to me"
"How could I not when you look so pretty for me?" He pulls himself up to a sitting position gazing up at you from thick dark lashes. He brings his hand up to cup your jaw bringing your faces together. He kisses you softly his lips ghosting over yours. As you deepen the kiss bringing your lips together with a feverish urgency, you faintly notice how he tastes like wine before you bring your self down onto his bed straddling him. He moans into your kiss as you grind down into him. You feel his cock slowly twitch to life as your kisses become more desperate, bucking up into your clothed cunt. Your both breathing heavy already and between kisses unbuttoning each other clothes. He sheds his flowy white button up quickly exposing his chest and he watches you fumble with his belt as he pulls off the last of your clothes leaving you exposed to the warm night air. He tears his eyes away from your tits to watch you palm him through his boxers before pulling his cock fully out. His cock looks painfully hard, leaking pearly beads of cum from the tip as you play with it tracing small veins trailing up the sides. He lets out soft little whines when you fully stroke it squeezing your hips and popping one of your nipples into his mouth. He brings his other hand down to your panties steadily stroking your clit the damp spot on your panties growing wetter. You pant and buck into his touch stroking him faster.
"Ahh that feels so good, wanna be inside you so bad" he pants out a whine in his voice, he looks up at you again with through dark lashes. He peppers kisses on your chest and neck bringing his fingers under your panties to spread your wetness from your entrance to your clit. Slowing pushing in one finger dragging it against you g spot waiting a bit before pushing his ring finger in too. He steadily thrust his fingers in and out of you his cock twitching at the lewd wet noises that filled the air.
"Mmm I need you inside me please I wanna cum on your cock" you groaned softly into his ear. He layed all the way back on the bed pulling your hips toward his.
"Show me how badly you want to cum on my cock" you adjusted yourself until his cock was over your dripping slit dragging it through your lips a bit. Finally you sunk down on his cock, moaning at how full you felt. You began to rock your hips against his feeling the tip of his cock press down on your gspot again and again savouring the feeling. Cardan brought his hands to your hips to help you ride him faster, the both of you panting.
"I'm about to cum"
"Me too I'm almost there keep going" he replied out of breath. You kept fucking yourself on his cock feeling it twitch inside you pushing you over the edge. As you ride out your high you felt cardan tense and moan before cumming inside you.
The end bitch

cardan, about Jude in The Queen of Nothing: oops, sorry that's my wife, Jude, yeah Jude Duarte? that's my wife actually, did i forget to mention she's my wife? oh before you forget shes my wife, oh yah actually you know what's interesting she's my wife, oh are you drinking water? you know who else drinks water? my wife, Jude Duarte yeah sorry that my wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wi-
Sometimes I just think of when Cardan is telling Jude about the whole thing where her exile was just a scheme or whatever, I think of how Cardan just wanted Jude to be proud of him, proud because he fooled everyone, just like she does. I think about it and break just a little bit more, because that's how he would have made Baelkin proud, by doing what his brother would have done, so he just assumed to make Jude proud he had to do what she does. Our baby High King was just so desperate for love and validation, indeed.
Jude: Fuck you
Cardan: Fuck me yourself coward
That's their entire relationship dynamic
Locke saying this and getting killed by taryn is so funny lmao taryn said you're the problem and solved it by murdering him
i will never shut up about how the duarte sisters are ALL so 'family line' by conan gray coded omg
My father never talked a lot, He just took a walk around the block 'Til all his anger took a hold of him and then he'd hit - is basically madoc
My mother never cried a lot She took the punches, but she never fought 'Til she said, "I'm leaving, and I'll take the kids" so she did - EVA DUARTE
Scattered 'cross my family line I'm so good at telling lies, That came from my mother's side - Jude and Taryn can both lie because they are mortals like their mom
God, I have my father's eyes, but my sister's when I cry i can run, but I can't hide from my family line - the eyes part can be applicable to both Jude and Vivi tbh because Jude comes to a realisation later in the books that she became just like madoc bc of his training, 'eyes are the windows to soul' after all, but in a more physical senses, Vivi has her dad's eyes.
Its hard to put it into words how the holidays will always hurt, i watch the fathers with their little girls, and wonder what I did to deserve this - Jude, Vivi and Taryn not coming terms with the fact that their dad Justin is gone forever.
How could you hurt a little kid?I can't forget, I can't forgive you, cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me - VIVIENNE DUARTEE
Oh, all that I did to try to undo It all of my pain and all your excuses i was a kid but I wasn't clueless (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)All of my past, I tried to erase It but now I see, would I even change it? - Jude having a traumatic past but also mentioned that without it, she wouldn't have been as strong as she was
Might share a face and share a last name, but(We are not the same) - Taryn and Jude on their differences as twins
liking a character but lacking the brainpower to have any real coherent thought or clever analysis of them so your brain just kind of says their name over and over like a teen girl in a cheesy romance writing her crushes name over and over in glittery gel pen surrounded by hearts
I've loved so many of them
book quotes that i will never recover from
"he is half of my soul, as the poets say. " - song of achilles
"write me a letter telling me how to live the rest of my life without you." - how to make friends with the dark
"they were my birthday presents." - shatter me
"she had realized that she had forgotten the precise blue of his eyes and the depth of his laugh." - clockwork princess
"my name is sam cortland... and i will not be afraid." - assassin's blade
"you chose me four years ago. would you choose me still?" - these violent delights
"we were all supposed to make it." - crooked kingdom
"i remember everything." - the invisible life of addie larue
"come home and shout at me. come home and fight with me. come home and break my heart, if you must. just come home." - cruel prince
"i wasted all those yesterdays and am completely out of tomorrows." - they both die at the end
"you hated the idea of me." - the final gambit
"bob says hello." - house of hades
"abuse can feel like love. starving people will eat anything." - nightfall
"i missed you only with an ocean between us. but if death was separating us... i would find you." - queen of shadows
"i loved him. i love him. as best i could." - we were liars
"i'm the villain, even in my own story. but you were supposed to play a different role." - finale
"i will find you again in the next world—the next life. and we will have that time. i promise." - a court of wings and ruin
"i spent half of my time loving her and the other half hiding how much i loved her." - the seven husbands of evelyn hugo
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
I don’t know who lied, but the Cruel Prince trilogy is not a romantasy. That’s just setting people up for disappointment.
One thing I like is that Taryn knew sword fighting too. Too often in books, the bold sister is training to fight, and the more gentle sister doesn’t know how to fight. I’m glad Mordoc taught her too. Even if she never actively practiced it after training.
I don't think we talk about Cardan just enough
I don't think it will ever be enough
I'm sorry but we are talking about the BOY who got beaten by his own brother every day the same brother he had to live with because his father had kicked him out of his home because of his OTHER old brother.
The same guy who took the mortal servants back to the human world under the threat of Balakien's wrath.
And the guy who sent a dress to Jude the girl he "hated" so much that he couldn't stop thinking about her.
And the man who was forced into a role he never wanted but carried with it the best he could.
The man who hid his own tail until he didn't
The man who TURNED INTO A SNAKE just because he broke the blood crown and freed the people.
The man who joked about when people were eating meat that was his just a few hours ago.
Cardon is so much more than just the villainous love interest or Jude's pawn.
He is the true king of Elfhame.
And he is better than any man any day.
Being bisexual just means you’re attracted to both Cardan and Jude.
