Quotes
-
Armus Grey : During the crusades, I didn't fight - I was a cook. I trained so hard for the right to do battle for my king - to take my rightful place as father's son. I looked forward to the day I would lift a sword in combat. When that day came... I didn't see him at first. A knight to my rear warned me. I swung 'round, my broadsword wielded. The blade thrust into his belly... the life drained so quickly from his face. He was a boy like me. He watched me watching him die. It was as though it was happening to someone else.
Eleanor Grey : You killed in self-defense.
Armus Grey : The kill came so easily. I'll never forget the feeling of power it gave me - a feeling I had no wish to acquire a taste for.

[speaking of Eleanor's huge brother]
Eleanor Grey : I wonder what Armus would enjoy for dinner.
Lady Elizabeth : I wonder what Armus wouldn't enjoy for dinner.

Richard Grey : They are serving food in the Great Hall, you know.
Armus Grey : It may be something one ingests by mouth, brother, but it's certainly not food. Besides which I couldn't bear to spend another moment in the same room with John Mullens. His disposition hasn't improved over the years.
Eleanor Grey : You don't know the half of it.
Armus Grey : [referring to the lovely Alexandra Mullens] And who, by the way, is that creature with him? And more importantly, why?
