Though a bolt of fear went through her at the thought…
““Though a bolt of fear went through her at the thought, though standing against the king was the one thing Celaena had thought she’d never be brave enough to do, she couldn’t forget the three scars on her back, or the slaves she’d left in Endovier, or the five hundred butchered Eyllwe rebels. Celaena took the staff from Nehemia’s hands. The princess gave her a fierce grin.””
