“I watch every blow, every flinch. I have little choice. I can shut my eyes, but the sounds are just as terrible. And worst of all is Cardan's empty face, his eyes as dull as lead. Truly, he has come by his cruelty honestly in Balekin's care. He has been raised up in it, instructed in its nuances, honed through it's application. However horrible Cardan might be, I now see what he might become and am truly afraid.” CrueltyHolly BlackThe Folk Of The AirJude DuarteCardan GreenbriarCardanThe Cruel PrinceBalekinBeatingLashing Book:The Cruel Prince Source: The Cruel Prince
