Barbarian Quote by C.S. Pacat
““My honourable barbarian. I wouldn’t have picked that as your type.’ ‘Type?’ ‘A pretty face, a devious mind and a ruthless nature.’ ‘No. That isn’t—I didn’t know she was . . . I didn’t know what she was.’ ‘Didn’t you?’ said Laurent. ‘Perhaps I . . . I knew she was ruled by her mind, not her heart.””
