Chapter 22: The Count's Trial
"Isaline," Casimir said. "Your father stands trial in eight days."
"Then he'll stand trial tomorrow."
"The king won't..."
"The king kept you waiting nine days once," she said. "Ask him if he'd like to do it twice."
The captain looked from one of them to the other.
"My lord," he said. "Who is she?"
"Trouble," said Casimir. "Get fresh horses. Buy every pound of bark at the port, at the crown's price, and go ahead of us."
The captain went.
That afternoon they stood before the king in a small cold room behind the throne.
He listened to Casimir with his chin on his fist.
Then he looked at Isaline.
"You want me to try your father in the morning, Lady Isaline. So you can leave the city by noon."
"Yes, Majesty."
"And you'll stand up and speak against him."
"Yes, Majesty."
He studied her a long moment.
"I kept the Margrave waiting nine days when his people were dying," he said. "I haven't liked myself much for it."
