Openly Quote by Kinley MacGregor

“Speak openly. There is no one I trust more than Lutian. (Adara) He’s a half-wit, my queen. (Xerus) Half-wit, whole-wit, I have enough of them to know to keep silent. So speak, good counselor, and let the queen judge which of the two of us is the greater fool present. (Lutian)” quote by Kinley MacGregor
