Iris and Henri are the bad guys in modern Eyrinthia, but in Crown & Serpent (a prequel to the main series) they’re just two harmless(?) teenagers. Since the book details how they met, I thought it would be fun to do a round of some popular “Never Have I Ever” questions with this young prince and noblewoman. And of course, I thought I’d answer the questions as well!
Never have I ever read the last chapter of a book first.
Henri: Guilty.
Iris: No.
Heather: NEVER.
Never have I ever stolen anything.
Henri: As a prince, anything I want I have every right to possess, so, no.
Iris: Yes, when I was a child I would take little things from my parents. Mostly I remember taking things that my father didn’t think I was ready for, whether that was a book that detailed particularly gruesome poisons, or a dangerous poison itself. I was always a curious child.
Heather: When I was a kid, I contemplated keeping a library book. [*gasps!*] I didn’t, though. I didn’t want to mess up my standing with the library!
Never have I ever lost a bet.
Henri: Perhaps, though I can’t recall a specific incident.
Iris: I’m sure I have not.
Heather: 100% I have lost bets. Luckily, I never place any money on bets, so there’s that at least.
Never have I ever bribed someone.
Henri: I generally resort to threats…
Iris: I’ve never had the need.
Heather: Nope. Unless bribing with chocolate counts... It counts? Oh. Well, then yes.
Never have I ever broken a bone.
Henri: I’ve broken a few over the years. …Oh, you mean my own bones? Ah. Well, yes to that, too.
Iris: I only sprained my wrist once. I fell from a tree in my father’s garden. He’d warned me not to climb that high, but I was checking on the blooms. I was anxious to harvest them so we could make several different poisons.
Heather: Nope, never broken a bone. Or had a bone broken. *looks purposefully at Henri*
Never have I ever dog-eared the pages of a book.
Henri: I probably have.
Iris: I have, when a bookmark wasn’t handy and I needed to keep my place. Research trumps all else.
Heather: Absolutely not! The sacrilege!
Never have I ever lived alone.
Henri: I wish.
Iris: Yes, right after my father died. But I suppose I had the servants, so I wasn’t wholly alone.
Heather: Yes. For the most part I’ve had roommates, but I’ve also had a couple stints of living alone.
Never have I ever told a lie.
Henri: Of course not. *looks at us, because we’re staring at him* Fine. I have lied.
Iris: So have I.
Heather: Yes.
Never have I ever cooked something.
Henri: Absolutely not.
Iris: Do poisons count?
Heather: Yes, I love cooking and baking!
Never have I ever slept outdoors.
Henri: Yes, during my more intense weeks of combat training.
Iris: No. Unless a nap counts?
Heather: Yes, though I’m not the biggest fan of camping. At least not in a tent. A cabin is more my speed.
Never have I ever been to Disneyland.
Henri: What now?
Iris: …I don’t like the sound of this land.
Heather: LOL I just keep picturing it! You two, at Disneyland! *laughs uncontrollably* Although to be fair, I haven’t been, either. But I’ll be going next summer!
Never have I ever believed in ghosts.
Henri: The only ghosts are the memories of the dead that the living can’t let go of.
Unfortunately, their influence can be all too real.
Iris: No.
Heather: Yes.

This was just a bit of fun :) I hope you enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed Never Have I Ever: Crown & Serpent Edition its mix of intrigue, high-stakes drama, and royal rivalry really drew me in and kept me turning pages. Speaking of value and support, I recently had a demanding assignment at university and needed finishing touches to meet the deadline. That's when I discovered an academic editing help service in the UK offering Affordable capstone project editing. It’s been incredibly helpful, ensuring clarity, polish, and timely delivery highly recommend for busy students needing reliable support.
I’ll never forget that winter when I was juggling essays, group projects, and a part-time job my calendar looked like a broken puzzle. In those chaotic moments, a little online class help felt like stumbling upon a warm fire in the snow. It didn’t do the work for me, but it brought clarity when everything else felt tangled, reminding me why shared support matters when deadlines loom.
Never have I ever had my research paper published without help. To get my new findings into a top journal, I used Web of Science Journal Publication Services. It was the crucial final step that ensured my work was recognized as a new truth in the field.
I absolutely love the “Never Have I Ever: Crown & Serpent Edition” concept it gives such a fun and intimate glimpse into the early lives of Iris and Henri before they became the formidable figures we see in the main series. This playful format lets us connect with them as nervous, mischievous teens, and naturally offers the chance to see how they slowly shaped each other’s destinies. It’s a clever way to build empathy for characters who are often seen from a distance, and it makes their pairings full of tension, history, and dramatic flair all the more compelling.
On a related note, I’ve always been passionate about bringing writers’ voices to life in ways that feel both authentic and polished.…
