Novel & Cerita Queen Of Spades Quotes

“You think I asked for all this crap? The marriage, the creepy house, the mind games? I’ve been blind for so long, I almost lost hope! But I’m not blind anymore. Not in the ways that matter.” She tilted her head. “Then act like you are not blind, Madame. Because if you’re smart, you’ll remember: queens die the same way as pawns do. It just takes a bit longer.” I let the silence settle between us. Then I smiled. “You worry too much, Marta. I haven’t even started playing the game yet.”

Dante screamed at me, voice cracking. "I'm not going to kill you, Dante." I smiled—soft, cruel, tasting victory on my tongue. "You should witness how I become the queen everyone loves." "Oh? Oh, well since you're so damn smart," Dante spat, suddenly grinning like he'd found a rope to hold onto. "There's something you don't know! You're just going to die soon anyway! How will you even become a queen everyone loves!?" "Why would I die?" I chuckled. "Don't tell me you actually thought I accepted all your Lotus Bud gifts. I don't have a single one left."

Hazel said, refusing to get intimidated by the queen. "You're playing with fire" the queen spat. "Oh, am I?" Hazel looked like she was enjoying herself. "I could kill you right now, you know that, right?" the queen hissed. Hazel let out a humourless laughter, her eyes flashing with anger.

muttered Columba Rajadi in her unbelievable body gesture. Queenie Qamra sighed her long breath. She began to look cynical and sarcastic this time. She smiled in her cynical and relaxing fashion. She sashayed in front of her love rival still with her cynical and sarcastic smile perching down the edge of her lips. “I’ve never thought I can be caught with my hands in the cookie jar like this… Yet, since I’ve been caught and my secret has been revealed, yeah… I think I ought to let the cat out of the bag at the moment…”

It took just one more sacrifice and she was done. "There... one more of your knights is killed by me... the one who will be the true queen!" she said and I shook my head at her foolishness. "You can't be the queen! Do you know why? Because a real queen never forgets her people for the greed of killing her enemies. For a queen, her kingdom's safety should come first! Which you forgot in the excitement of seeing your enemy defeated and now it's too late!.... check and mate!" I said and moved my queen on the board and all others covering her king already which she just realized.

“Gold on a dragon is not decoration. It is declaration.” Seraphina purred. Actually purred. I am a declaration, she said, pleased. I like that. This was really not the time. You like everything that makes you sound important, I muttered inwardly. Because I am important. I almost lost my focus. Almost. But Spiro’s eyes were still on me, and the field was still listening, and my life was still being rewritten sentence by sentence by a man who had been a dragon minutes ago. “What would Lucian have done if he got through?” I asked.

“And you shouldn’t have to. You’re not here to decipher whether he loves me or he loves me not.” She eyed me with more interest. “And you are debating that? Now?” I shrugged self-deprecatingly. “Apparently I am not immune to fairy tales.” I said slowly. She laughed softly, shoulders shaking beneath her black polo neck that hugged her like a second skin. She shifted the gun in her lap, slipping the magazine into place. “Ah well, if you are going to fantasize about anyone, your husband is always a good choice.” I smiled ruefully. “That almost sounded like a joke. Congratulations Nat.”

“If they want to hurt me just to get to you… then aren’t you the one they’re really after?” He didn’t answer. Didn’t have to. His silence told me everything. I took a slow step toward him, my heart pounding loud enough to drown the fear. “So all of this—this marriage, this cage, it was never about me at all, was it? I’m just a pawn in your war.” His eyes darkened, his jaw locking so tightly I could hear the grind of his teeth. “You’re not a pawn,” he said finally, his voice like a blade. “You’re the queen. And queens are the most dangerous pieces on the board.”

Inside was a chessboard. Every piece was set. Except for the queen. She was missing. A folded note lay beside it: "You forgot who taught you how to play" Elena stared at the board, fury rising in her throat. She crushed the note in her fist. “He wants to remind me I was never the queen”, Damien stepped beside her. “He just made his biggest mistake”, Elena nodded, eyes burning with resolve. “Let’s show him... the queen never needed permission to move”, The board was set.

I inhaled deeply, and with my eyes and mind fully concentrated on the ball, I added another bout of flame, watching the target increase to the size of a bigger soccer ball. “Good, you are doing fine. When you had arrived here first and was finding it hard to even find your center, I had thought that we had overhyped it, that maybe the tape had been doctored…” The Queen laughed as she said this, picking a cup from the stool beside the large chair which she was sitting on. She sipped from the white ceramic. I was not sure what was in there, but it smelt like the green tea Laura prepared on weekends for us.
