"Give him this, and tell him that I will wait for him at Ravenel."

When I tell you my jaw dropped! What in the Interstellar type of shit did I just read? The CHILLS I got from reading this whole page, my god. I'm so glad we have a Damen because each time Laurent pulls a crazy gambit like this, he's just as shocked as I am, bless his heart. I just love each moment when he realizes what a crazy genius that man is. I genuinely just want to fuck the way Laurent's mind works. (and I'm pretty sure Damen does too)

I was definitely equally as hooked on all the schemings of his & their military strategies as I was on the enemies to lovers trope.

Then all the raw emotions of Damen, described so beautifully how much he had missed his home all along, and then it being Laurent who has brought home to him!

"They are our reinforcements"

I'm screaming!! I just want to tattoo this whole page on my brain. Whenever he would think that Laurent is two steps ahead, it's actually like five. Moments like this also give a whole new meaning to the occasion when he said 'I can't think' , which is like stripping buck naked and yelling that he's out of action, completely defenceless. But that's a whole other conversation.

I instantly started loving the character of Jord so much, and later on he reminded me a lot of someone else I also adore.
Then having just finished Prince's Gambit I realized I couldn't have been more right! 😭

Both such noble and loyal souls with tragic fates.
ALSO, the biggest simps in the world!!

So hi, I'm a first time Captive Prince reader, currently at the halfway mark of book 2, and I just really needed to write this out of myself because I do not feel casual about these books and these two! :')

This is just a tiny detail I really, really love, especially since they're still just a prince and his slave at this point lol. But Damen simply sees red every single time Laurent is slightly close to getting hurt, I feel like that's his trigger point. If he's like this now, I cannot imagine what's in gonna be like later on...

Completely normal feelings towards your emotionally unavailable captor who you just can't wait to escape from!
