Chapter 21: The Hearing
Mian ran across the wet grounds in his socks and reached the Council tent as Shouyi set the chest on the table.
It was a long, low tent, and it was full.
Forty Council elders sat in two rows on cushions in their black and gold.
The chair presided from the middle.
The Inspector hovered at one end with soup still drying on his robe.
The back of the tent was packed with captains and spectators.
Ruan Bo stood at the side, gripping Xiaoman's sleeve.
Old Qiu leaned in the entrance in his apron, eating a bun.
"Yan Shouyi of Bluebrook," said the chair, with ice in it. "You are not summoned."
"I summoned myself," said Shouyi.
His voice shook, and he stopped.
Mian saw the thread pinch under his breastbone from forty feet away.
He wanted to run to him.
He stayed at the back, because Shouyi had walked in alone on purpose.
"I am not Core Formation," Shouyi said.
A rustle went around the tent.
"I have not been Core Formation at any time. I am late Foundation. I have been so for six years."
He opened the chest and tipped it.
Twenty-four reports in red string slid across the table and fell off the edge.
