Chapter 21: The Verdict
"A servant brought it to me," said the Prince. "A loyal one."
His voice was smooth, but his hand had found the arm of his chair.
"Which servant?"
"I would have to think. There are so many."
"Then let us ask him," said the Queen. "Captain."
The guard captain limped through the double doors at the back of the hall, and two knights brought in a thin man in grey livery.
His irons clinked on the marble.
The footman did not look at the Prince.
He looked at the Queen's boots, and he said all of it in a small, cracked voice.
He named the steward who had paid him, and showed the purse of silver from his boot.
"The Duke's mint," said the captain, and laid the coin on a silver tray.
"Taken last spring from a border convoy, and locked in the palace treasury."
"There is only one key, outside the Crown's own household. It is carried by the heir's steward."
"Bring him," said the Queen.
They brought the steward from the cells.
He was a plump man in plain black, with a leather case that had a gold clasp.
