Cardan's Letters To Jude Novels & Stories

I took the keys and returned the black card to him. He smiled lightly. “Whatever.” Instead of picking up the black card, he put on his jacket, got up, and left the apartment. I scratched my head irritably as I looked at that black card. “He’s really full of himself!” I wrinkled my nose at Jude. Jude howled in response.

Jude grinned and said just before Estella could finish, "Excuse me, how much do you want to borrow?" Estella declared her desired quantity of money with haste. "Not much, only two hundred thousand dollars!" "Mum! You recently stated..." Stella had to cut her off with a loud interruption. Estella shot her a hard glance. With a smirk, Jude moved to block Stella’s voice behind him. He then removed his wallet, pulled out a bank card, and gave it to Estella. "There are $300,000 in this card, Auntie. Use it first if you're pressed for time. Six Sevens is the code.”

I was irritated because the person who created this card awarded Henry a better rank than me. "Yes, and there are also benefits. But I don't know the specifics because I only heard about it. By the way, you're in the same class as I am." Henry spoke to me as he showed me the back of my card. On the back, there was simply a single alphabet. The letter C was printed all the way around the back of the card. After only 2 hours, the carriage came to a halt. "Hold on, everyone." The Baron's voice could be heard once more.

She hid her face towards everyone whilst massaging her forehead. “Who gave it to you?” Jane affirmed, trying to look at the letter given. “N-Nothing.” On the other hand, Jude moved his wheelchair near them. It's still their break so they didn't give much attention to him other than paying respect and recognition, other than that, their whole damn attention is currently at Emerald. Loren made a move. She took the letter Emerald was holding and quickly spoke his name, getting Jude's attention entirely. “Let’s see each other later. From Carlos. Carlos who?”

I wish you both a long and happy life together. I love you with all my heart, Alexander Markus Peregrine. Now and always. Your loving mother.” The letter fell from my shaking hand. I sprawled my fingers on the wooden table, trying to control the beast that was raging inside me. Gideon took the piece of paper and examined it. Once he was done, he neatly folded it up and placed it back in the envelope with the stone. He sighed, rubbing his face vigorously with his hand. “I’m so sorry, Alex.” My friend said with sad eyes.

"Since the dramatics are over, perhaps we can discuss the current political reality." I settled back onto the furs, pulling a blanket around myself. Cardan knelt beside me, his eyes full of worry. He gently took my hand, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. I didn't pull away. "I need to tell you what Adam told me," Cardan said, his voice suddenly hard and serious. He recounted Adam's visions, the 'side effect' of the poison. When he finished, silence descended on the hut, heavy and suffocating. "The Immeasurable... he started the war," I repeated, the words tasting like ash. "And I… I was fighting him. And he's you?"

I asked her, trying to keep my voice steady. Diana took a deep breath before answering, her eyes downcast. “I honestly don’t know,” she said. “Denis always admired King Cardinal, and his reign was the most peaceful we’ve had in a long time. All the Cardinals who’ve ascended the throne have made the country prosper, but there were always disputes. Your father, however, was different. He managed to rule without any animosity from neighbouring countries. King Cardinal was fair and talented. When I wrote my brother that letter, I hoped his beliefs were still those he had ten years ago.”

Although Jude barely avoided it, the powerful momentum sent him flying again, and he broke a few of his rib bones. Jude was terrorized as he hurried to say, “I admit defeat! I surrender! The ones who offended you are from Admiralporium. Go kill them! I won’t stop you!” Yvette was in disbelief. “Mr. Held, how could you do this!?” Jude snapped back in anger, “You idiots! Who asked you to offend someone so skilled? You deserve it!” Yvette was disappointed. She had admired people from Eternalporium so much, only for Jude to turn out to be a scum at such a critical juncture. She had just supported him so openly!

“The next one is yet another letter from Duke Alaric.” My eyes snapped open. “How many letters has that clown sent already?” “This makes seven, my lord.” I sighed. “Read it.” • To: Revandrel, wherever the hell you are hiding now. I know you are reading this. You always read my letters; you simply enjoy pretending that you do not. This is the seventh one, by the way. I have been trying to reach you since the morning after the exhibition. I heard all that occurred. Then I heard of your sudden disappearance.

As Ophelia stumbled to the table, Jude stepped into her path. He cooed, “You think I go into the forest and what? Hunt Bambi and his family? Silly dove.” Eyes of liquid silver turned to pools of ink and tar. “I don’t kill animals. I kill people.”
