Chapter 13: Missing Page
Gudrun finished her tea.
She set the cup in its saucer without a sound, and she rose and left the hall with her chin up.
Nobody stopped her.
Torin put two guards on the guest house door before she reached it, and he told them why in front of the envoys.
"Lowmere's guests stay inside Hartfell's walls until the Moot," he said. "They are guests, and they are witnesses, and they will be fed."
"And if the lady wishes to walk the wall?" a guard asked.
"Then you walk beside her."
Kjell was still staring at the ledger stub in my hands.
"She took it herself," he said. "She said it to your face."
"She wants me afraid of it," I said. "That's the only reason she told me."
"Are you?"
I thought about it honestly.
"Yes," I said. "A little. It's my father's hand."
Torin did not tell me it would be fine.
He walked me back up to the north tower and sat me in the chair by the window.
He stood behind it with his hands on my shoulders until my own shoulders stopped shaking.
That was how the day went.
He worked, and I worked, and the page sat between us.
