Chapter 24: The Discarded Fiancée
"Thirty?" Mu-hyeon said.
"I counted twice, Young Master."
"With sticks?"
"Split kindling, most of them. One has a broom."
Yeon-hwa was already out of bed and looking for her robe.
Mu-hyeon lay back on the pillow and watched her with great interest.
"You're not even going to finish breakfast," he said.
"There isn't any breakfast."
"Uncle," he called through the door. "Make breakfast for thirty-two."
"Thirty-three, Young Master," Pyo said. "There's a maid with the Alliance Leader. She looks hungry."
Yeon-hwa put the cracked jade pin in her hair, the one that had been her mother's, and went down to the gate.
The black gate was standing open.
She had had the dried heads taken down the week before.
The white-haired woman in plain grey stood on the open ground in front of it.
The Alliance Leader's seal hung on a cord around her neck, and she carried no sword at all.
Behind her stood thirty girls.
The youngest looked about ten.
The oldest might have been seventeen.
They wore the colours of a dozen different sects, and every single one of them was holding a stick.
Split kindling, mostly.
One of them did have a broom.
