Chapter 15: The Circlet
Isandor was on his feet before Corvain had finished smiling.
Cassien was faster.
Isandor had already watched him climb onto a table for a cook.
"Then take me," Cassien said.
"Sit down," Isandor said.
"They're my men. They held the citadel for my family."
"Sit down, Cassien."
Cassien did not, of course.
He walked down the steps toward Corvain with his chin up and his hands open.
Isandor had never moved so fast without a sword in his hand.
He caught Cassien by the back of the collar in front of both courts.
"Guards. Take the consort to my chamber."
The hall made a noise.
Cassien twisted around in his grip and looked at him.
"You don't get to do this."
"I am the Emperor. I get to do almost everything."
He turned to the guards.
"Lock the door. Bar the garden door from outside. If he goes out the window, go with him."
Four of them took Cassien.
Cassien did not fight them.
He fought Isandor, with his eyes.
Isandor followed them up the stairs.
At the chamber door Cassien turned on the threshold.
"If you do something stupid tonight," he said, "I will kill you myself."
