 “There’s a boy", Taryn says slowly. I think of her weeping, standing beside Cardan. I think of how angry she’s been that I am feuding with him. I think of that, and a cold and terrible dread creeps over me. “Who?” I demand. Please not Cardan. Anyone but Cardan.

 I love how Taryn only said ‘a boy’ , like it could be anyone , but Cardan is instantly doing double flips in Jude's head .

When Jude said- "Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest, with black hair as iridescent as a raven’s wing and cheekbones sharp enough to cut out a girl’s heart" and then proceeded with "I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe." Like, Yeah girl, you ObVioUsLy 'hate' him.

"He looked gleeful, gloating, as though my fist tightening on his shirt was exactly what he would have wished. As though, if I struck him, it would be because he had made me do it." ~The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Remember the scene where Cardan pushed Jude into the river with the Nixies?                                  

When Jude slips and sink and then resurface she said ‘Cardan has one foot in the reeds, as though to get a better look.’ I might be delulu but I don’t think he was tryna get a better look. Man was prolly about to risk his ego and pull her out!!!!!!

Taryn warning Jude against Cardan with ’He’s flint, you’re tinder’

Flint and tinder when used together starts fire, Taryn was therefore implying that together they were gonna be fire and that their relationship was gonna be be lit. She was shipping them already.

Hence proved, thankyou.

Remember when Taryn said she was in a relationship with a ‘boy’ and Jude was instantly terrified thinking it would be Cardan?

like chill, girl, she only said ‘boy’ , could be anyone.

Jude: When you said you were going to fall in love, you were talking about someone in particular. Taryn: “There’s a boy,” Jude:  * Please not Cardan. Anyone but Cardan*

"I would like to say that he always hated me, but for a brief, strange time it felt as though we understood each other, maybe even liked each other. Altogether an unlikely alliance, begun with my blade to his throat, it resulted in his trusting me enough to put himself in my power. A trust that I betrayed."

~Jude Duarte ,The Wicked King by Holly black
