Prince Quote by C.S. Pacat
““Damen thought privately that princes needed seasoning not protection. Laurent in particular. He had seen Laurent open his mouth and strip paint from the walls. He had seen Laurent lift a knife and in cold blood slit open a man’s throat without so much as a flicker of his golden lashes. Laurent didn’t need to be protected from anything.””
About This Quote
The passage portrays Laurent as a dangerous, unprotected figure whose violent nature makes protection unnecessary; his threat lies in his own actions.
In simple terms: Laurent is violent and needs no protection because he is already dangerous.
Key Takeaway
Beware of those whose own aggression makes them self‑sufficient threats.
