Chapter 22: The Hearth Seat
I carried the pot into the throne hall on my own hip, and the court parted for it.
The eleven Alphas stood along the walls in their furs.
The old one with the grey beard stood at the front, breathing easily, with one hand over his chest.
The King sat on his throne, and no iron crown sat on his head.

"I'd be glad to," said a voice from the gallery, enormous with satisfaction.
"Done," said the King.
He leaned forward.
