Chapter 16: What The King Planned
Lysander laid two papers on the black table in the great hall and stepped back from them.
Rina had pulled on the green dress in a hurry, and the crescent on her shoulder showed at the neckline.
Kaldrith stood beside her with his own crescent hidden under a high black collar and his hand never leaving her back.
"The first is my father's order to the court physician," said the Crown Prince. "Dated the week the Lady Wynne left the capital."
He pushed it across.
Rina read it.
It was short, in a clerk's tidy hand, with the king's red seal at the bottom.
A restorative to be taken nightly for the bride's nerves, mixed by the physician himself and given into no other hand.
"That is a kind order," Lysander said. "I read it as one for three days."
"And then?"
"And then I found the second."
The second paper was a muster roll.
Ten thousand men, called to Harrowgate on the south road, and a line at the bottom in the same tidy hand.
March on the day word comes from Ashmoor.
Rina did not need to be told what word.
"He ordered the army to Harrowgate before she reached the keep," she said.
"Yes."
"Before she could have done anything. Before she could have failed to do anything."
"Yes."
Lysander's hands were shaking.
He hid them behind his back.
"I do not say my father is guilty of murder," he said.
"I say there are two papers, and they are in the wrong order for an honest man."
"Your Highness," said Kaldrith, very quietly. "That is the bravest thing I have heard a Crown Prince say."
