“Did you just say please? You use such a word now? What, had too much practice from the lies you told in the press conference this morning? First sorry and now please?” He stared at me.

“Amongst other things.” “You have much preaching to do with very little point.” “Sometimes I wonder if shaking you long enough might rattle some sense into that pretty head of yours.” “Because I’m so stupid?” I said waspishly. “Far from.

Playing at being a knight in the Queen’s Guard.”

The thunder rolled, low and guttural, as if the heavens themselves had overheard his declaration. For Benedict, truth had always been overrated.

If one of my men lied to me, I'd assume their plan was a betrayal.

"But it didn't feel that way holding you," he says making me growl, he's making things up now. "Stop making things up!" I say, he's trying to gaslight me.

You are so honest” she said it like it was to be hated “Isn’t that a good thing?” “Well it is… But in your case I don’t know what to say” “Don’t you lie?” she asked “Never happened… Why should I lie when I know the truth?
