judith is so underrated i could cry like this kills me:

It is not a confession of temptation. I wasn't tempted by Coronabeth's offer. There was never any possibility of it. I committed the understandable crime of desire for Lieutenant Marta Dyas, having joined my hand to hers with the best and most pure of intentions. Why would I ever knowingly take Coronabeth Triden-tarius's, having desired her already for twelve long, stupid, fruitless years? And I said. Thank you for the offer, Your Highness, but not in this life or in any other.ALT

judith refuses corona’s offer because judith wants her and there is never a way judith wouldn’t want her, not in this life or any other.

I’m absolutely missing something here, I listened to the audible books and didn’t read it, but I dont remember this passage.

idk if it was included in the audiobooks but the excerpt is from the short story “as yet unsent” which is bonus content from the htn paperback. tor released it on their website here for readers to read it for free if you’d like :)
