Chapter 13: Forty Strokes
Mirelle did not sleep, and at dawn she walked into the second prince's rooms without knocking.
Dacian was already awake, sitting in the window seat in yesterday's shirt with the music box open on his knee.
He did not look surprised.
"You have questions," he said. "You've had them since the cellar."
"I have forty," Mirelle said. "Start with the novel."
"I can't start there."
"Then start where you can."
He kept his eyes on the box.
"In a moment," he said, "a maid is going to knock. She'll have a tray with two cups, because Linnea thinks you're in here and wants you fed. She'll say Linnea sends her blessing."
"Dacian."
"You'll tell her to leave it on the table. She'll curtsy twice and go."
Someone knocked.
Mirelle opened the door herself.
A maid stood there with a tray and two steaming cups.
"Linnea sends her blessing, Highness."
"Leave it on the table," Mirelle said.
The maid set it down, curtsied twice, and went out.
Mirelle shut the door and put her back against it.
"Why twice?" she said, because it was the only thing she could say.
"She's afraid of you," Dacian said. "On the fourth morning, you made her laugh with a joke about the porridge. She's never known what to do about it since."
"I met her this week."
"You met her once. I've met her more often than that."
His voice was very gentle, and that frightened her more than the maid had.
