Leith Bayard quotes from Reign

Leith Bayard

No one risks their life for some lord's strategy. We do it for those we love.

Leith Bayard

When you are alone and miserable, remember this as the moment that you threw your happiness away. And I will remember you as the woman who told me I wasn't enough. I will become everything you are so convinced you need. I will rise, and rise, and rise, until I am rich and powerful. But I will never be yours again.

Leith Bayard

If you go, don't come back.

Leith Bayard

When you took my lands away, you said that you'd make it up to me one day. Well, this is that day. I want repayment. Let Castleroy go.

Leith Bayard

Whatever you do, don't come back.

Leith Bayard

But I love her! Your Majesty, I love her.

Leith Bayard

I thought we could count on our love for one another. That's what I've always believed, but you never have, have you?

Leith Bayard

You should be marrying someone who knows you. Someone who loves you. Someone like me.

Leith Bayard

Sons of goatherds don't get to be with princesses.

Leith Bayard

I feel a poison in my heart. How long before I give in to it?

Leith Bayard

A new government is forming between toasts and whispers. So let's have that drink now.

What's changed? You were in such a hurry when last we met.

Leith Bayard

I wasn't thirsty then. I am now.

Another time. As this hour I am destined to meet another.

Leith Bayard

Aren't you a heartbreaker.

Not at all. Don't you be one either.

Queen Mary

It isn't fair, the privileges we are given. Or the prices we must pay for them.

Greer Castleroy

Good heavens. What if the King chooses me to be paired with someone? We should leave.

Leith Bayard

Yes, uh. One of us should leave... the married one.

Greer Castleroy

...Good night then. (hands Leith her cup)

Leith Bayard

One thing I will never do is risk getting on Catherine de Medici's bad side.

Princess Claude

You'd rather get on my bad side?!

Leith Bayard

Ha! A million times, yes.

Leith Bayard

Why do you want to help me?

Princess Claude

Because you're going to end up with someone. Why not someone a step above, but within reach?

Princess Claude

You can stop trying to prove yourself to my family. Charles is out of danger and my mother has given us her blessing.

Leith Bayard

But none of that matters unless I can keep the Valois safe. Most importantly, you.
