A Ludicrous Boyish Hope (Patreon)

A ludicrous boyish hope flared that someone would come to help him, and, carefully, he extinguished it. Since the age of thirteen, there had been no rescuer.I drew and colored this while waiting on hold with the food stamps office and feeling sorry for myself. This line-- from Captive Prince book three, "Kings Rising,"-- is from the only portion of the trilogy that's from Laurent's perspective, and it was one that always hit me where it hurts. Sometimes I wish there was someone to do all the hard things for me.
