Chapter 23: The Last Tear
Aurelie Quillon walked to the center of the floor and stood in the pool of gray light from the high window.
She looked small there.
She folded her hands.
"Your Majesty," she said. "Your Majesty, I have been very foolish."
The King said nothing.
"I have trusted everyone. It is my fault. I have let my aunt steal in my name, and my friends plot in my name, and a footman, and a Prior, and I have not looked, because it is my nature to believe that people are good." Her voice trembled, low and sweet. "I'm not clever. I never learned to be. I only know how to love."
The merchant at the front took out a handkerchief.
A woman in the second row began to cry.
Perrine felt the room lean toward the small grey figure.
She'd seen it on the pier.
She'd seen it in the Dowager's hall.
It was the best thing Aurelie had.
She had never once in her life failed to be believed.
"And Perrine," Aurelie said, turning, and her eyes were enormous and wet. "My dearest friend. If I've hurt you, I can't bear it. I only wanted you to be happy. I wanted you to have Lucan's love, truly, I was never the one who."
"Stop," said Perrine.
