Stabbing Quote by Edward W. Robertson

“Fortunately, when I was in the palace, I got some practice stabbing him in the heart. This time, I was much better at it. And did it ten times instead of once. Then cut off his head." "I always thought the secret of your success was your thoroughness.” quote by Edward W. Robertson
