Chapter 27: The Gate of Clouds
"He had them made," Phaedon said. "He put them in my cellar to ruin me. He's been planning it since she walked past me."
His voice cracked on the last of it.
A year ago, half the hall would have believed him.
Now they looked at his arm.
Theron stepped out of the front row.
He walked to the lamp without hurrying, and the court drew back from him the way it always had.
He stopped across the flame from his nephew.
"Let me swear," he said to the King.
The King looked at him for a long moment.
Twice he had refused my name to his son.
"Swear," he said.
Theron held his right hand over the Oath Flame, palm down, where everyone could see the linen at his wrist.
"On my wife's name," he said, "I never forged a chain in my life. I never wrote a word to the Eastern kings."
His hand stayed brown and scarred and still.
He didn't look at it.
He looked at Phaedon.
"She'd spare him," Phaedon said. "Her name would spare him. She's his wife."
