Many A True Word Spoken In Jest Novels & Stories

When I did realise what he had attempted to say I felt laughter bubble inside me and grinned at him. "Hostess not Princess." I said pulling a straight face with much effort. "Ah well" he shrugged "As Shakespeare said "What's in a word?" I could not help the giggle that escaped me. He really is incorrigible. "Shakespeare never said that! 'What's in a name'!" He gave me a goofy grin "He did?" Laughing at him I removed my hand from his grip and ignoring his command to stop moved towards the small group that was already on the deck now.

Do you know it's something new and unexpected at all? Caesar was also: I hope you'll say that this thing I just said is just a joke with us. Ayden looked at her and said with all seriousness and a hoarse voice: Why would I be joking in this matter? What I said now is the truth and not a joke at all. Do you think that what I just said can be joked about!!

Jaida covered her mouth, her chuckles brimming with ridicule. “It's utterly laughable. Truly, this is the biggest joke I've heard in years. The less a person knows, the bolder the lies they spin," Jett sneered.

Both of my eyebrows shot up spontaneously because, once again, I heard nonsense emanating from his lips. "Hey, don't jest," I exclaimed, my patience wearing thin with this conversation. "If you're not willing to tell me who you truly are, it's better to depart or refrain from obstructing me. Here, I have tasks and roles of utmost importance, far more crucial than wasting time on your absurd discourse." The one answer I had been eagerly awaiting continued to elude me. The fake Jesse adhered to his habit of sowing confusion, leaving me even more perplexed as he grinned inappropriately.

“What are you, blind, you idiot?” Daniel laughs and shrugs. “It was a turn of phrase! Hyperbole!” “Oh gross, are you and Fay going to use big words all the time?” Janeen asks, turning to sneer at him. Jerome laughs again and Daniel just narrows his eyes at her, but he can’t help his smile.

with a stiff smile of course. “P-Please don’t listen to ANY of it because there is no truth in those rumors. Ha.. Ha.. Ha..” Audelia said with a dry laugh. “Hahahaha!! Looks like the rumors do you justice, my lady. You are such a humble young lady.” Zeppelin laughed happily as he stared Audelia with eyes full of respect in it. ‘Noooooo! Stop iiiitt!’ ‘Don’t look at me with such respectful eyes!’ ‘I am NOT being humble!’

My words tumbled out, desperate and broken. But he just stared at me like I was nothing. Like he didn’t feel the same fire burning in my chest that was eating me alive. My voice cracked. "You felt it… you have to." But King Jester only shook his head slowly, as if I were some crazy stranger. "You’re a Stealer," he said, his voice low but heavy, like thunder before a storm. "Men feel strange things around you. They mistake it for a bond, but it’s fake. It’s cursed. You are cursed."

He yelled, looking frustrated. "The feeling is mutual!" I said to him with a dead straight serious face. "That was supposed to make you laugh out and say 'you finally caught me, buddy! What was that?' not this, nah! You are taking the words literally which isn't supposed to be so! How hard can it be to laugh at a simple joke? Were you told that if you laugh, you will die or you might lost your respect among the people? Not like the people love or like you or so but… no, don't get me wrong, it not like the people dislike you, I can't talk about hate but they just don't dislike you," he said as length.

Was that some kind of joke or what? “You can always find your way around it?” I scoffed, blinking my eyes rapidly in surprise. “Can you listen to yourself right now? You can find your way around it? I mean, what if something goes wrong? I'm not going to allow you gamble with my life. So, it's either you're sure about this, or I'm out.” “There you go again.” he said, heaving a sigh. “I was only joking with you. Do you really think that I would spend that much time and not memorize just four lines?”

“Hmm?” “If you keep talking like a LinkedIn motivational speaker, I’m going to throw up all over your father’s car interior.” He turned, blue eyes dropping to my face. “My joke was good.” “Your joke sounds like it was raised in a boardroom.” “That’s slander.” “That’s autobiography.”
