Tamora Pierce Quote

I don't know about some of these other people, particularly the ministers who served my uncle. Can't you get rid of them? Kaddar shook his head. The country's already in turmoil. I need to keep a few of the same faces around, at least until I get their measure. It doesn't sound like much fun. I wish you luck with it. I'll need luck, Kaddar took her hand. Daine, I found my uncle's papers. He was going to have me arrested and charged with conspiring against him— which means he planned to have me killed. I owe you my life. I know this will sound trite, but I mean it: whatever you want that I can give, even to half of my kingdom, all you need do is ask. Daine gave him a skeptical look. Your ministers wouldn't like the half-kingdom part. He grinned. Actually, they want to arrest you for crimes against the state.
