The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas

This is the prequel to one of my all time favorite series, Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. There are five novellas total, which means a lot of quotes. Here's a quick rundown of who is who and the kingdoms:
Celaena Sardothien: 16-year-old female assassin from Terrasen. Also known as Adarlan's Assassin. Sam Cortland's rival, Arobynn Hamel's protege, and the main character.
Sam Cortland: 17-year-old male assassin. Second best assassination n behind Celaena, and her rival.
Arobynn Hamel: Self-proclaimed King of the Assassins. Celaena is his protege.
Ansel of Briarcliff: Girl around Celaena's age who is training with the Silent Assassins at the same time as Celaena.
Adarlan: The largest kingdom. Their King (currently nameless) is attempting to conquer the world. Literally. Ruled by the Havilliards. The capital is Rifthold.
Terrasen: The first kingdom Adarlan conquered, and Celaena's homeland. She refuses to assassinate anyone from here. Formerly ruled by the Galathynius line before Adarlan attacked. The capital was Orynth.
Ellwye: Another conquered kingdom. Ruled in name only by the Ytgers.
Briarcliff: Where Ansel is from. It's in the Western Wastes.
Western Wastes: The ruins of the old Witch Kingdom. They were cursed by some of the last Crochan (not as evil) witches when the three Ironteeth Clans (the Blackbeaks, the Bluebloods, and the Yellowlegs) overthrew them.
There aren't any page numbers because I own the ebook. Enjoy!

"If Sam took one step toward her, drew his sword a fraction of an inch, that concealed dagger in her robe would find itself a new home in his neck." (Throne of Glass Series: Book 0.1-0.5: The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas- The Assassin and The Pirate Lord, written by Sarah J. Maas)

"Two months, three days, and about rift hours later, the clock on the mantel chimed noon. Captain Rolfe, Lord of the Pirates, was late. Then again, so were Celaena and Sam, but Rolfe had no excuse, not when they were already two hours behind schedule. Not when they were meeting in his office.
And it wasn't her fault for being tardy. She couldn't control the winds, and those skittish sailors had certainly taken their time sailing into the archipelago of the Dead Islands. She didn't want to think about how much gold Arobynn had spent bribing a crew to sail into the heart of pirate territory. But Skull's Bay was on an island, so they hadn't really had a choice about their mode of transportation." (Throne of Glass Series: Book 0.1-0.5: The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas- The Assassin and The Pirate Lord, written by Sarah J. Maas)

"Celaena walked to the wooden desk and picked up a piece of paper, her black-gloved hands turning it over to read the contents. A weather log. How dull.
"What are you doing?"
Celaena lifted another piece of paper. "If His Pirateness can't be bothered to clean for us, then I don't see why I can't have a look."" (Throne of Glass Series: Book 0.1-0.5: The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas- The Assassin and The Pirate Lord, written by Sarah J. Maas)

"It took all of her self-restraint to keep from punching him below the belt." (Throne of Glass Series: Book 0.1-0.5: The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas- The Assassin and The Pirate Lord, written by Sarah J. Maas)

"Of all the dinners she'd ever attended, this was by far the worst. not because of the company-which was, she grudgingly admitted, somewhat interesting-and not because of the food, which looked and smelled wonderful, but simply because she couldn't eat anything, thanks to that confounded mask.
Sam, of course, seemed to take second helpings of everything solely to mock her. Celaena, seated at Rolfe's left, half-hoped the food was poisoned. Sam had only served himself from the array of meats and stews after watching Rolfe eat some himself, so the likelihood of that wish coming true was rather low.
"Mistress Sardothien," Rolfe said, his dark brows rising high on his forehead. "You must be famished. Or is my food not pleasing enough for your refined palate?"
Beneath the cape and the cloak and the dark tunic, Celaena was not just famished, but also hot and tired. And thirsty. Which, combined with her temper, usually turned out to be a lethal combination. Of course, they couldn't see any of that.
"I'm quite fine," she lied, swirling the water in her goblet. It lapped against the sides, taunting her with each rotation. Celaena stopped.
"Maybe if you took off your mask, you might have an easier time eating," Rolfe said, taking a bite of roasted duck. "Unless what lies beneath it will make us lose our appetites."
The five other pirates-all captains in Rolfe's fleet-sniggered.
"Keep talking like that"-Celaena gripped the stem of her goblet-"and I might give you a reason to wear a mask." Sam kicked her under the table, and she kicked him back, a deft blow to his shins-hard enough that he choked on his water.
Some of the assembled captains stopped laughing, but Rolfe chuckled. She rested her gloved hand atop the stained dining table. The table was freckled with burns and deep gouges; it had clearly seen its fair share of brawls. Didn't Rolfe have any taste for luxury? Perhaps he wasn't so well off, if he was resorting to the stave trade. But Arobynn ... Arobynn was as rich as the King of Adarlan himself.
Rolfe flicked his sea-green eyes to Sam, who was frowning yet again. "Have you seen her without the mask?"
Sam, to her surprise, grimaced. "Once." He gave her an all too believably wary look. "And that was enough."" (Throne of Glass Series: Book 0.1-0.5: The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas- The Assassin and The Pirate Lord, written by Sarah J. Maas)
