Chapter 21: Verdict
The Assembly voted by lantern.
Each of the nine thousand had a small glass lamp in the arm of their seat.
On the Speaker's word it was lit or left dark.
"Does the High Marshal stand condemned," she said, "of the Ghostfall stop orders and the closing of the lane at Kell Reach?"
Maxine gripped the edge of the black table.
For a second the hall was a vast dark bowl.
Then the lanterns came on.
They lit in a wave from the front rows to the back, tier after tier, until the whole chamber blazed gold.
Not one stayed dark.
The Speaker let the light stand.
"The Assembly finds the High Marshal guilty," she said. "The Assembly strips him of rank, office and seal."
Two guards in gold sashes crossed the floor.
The Marshal rose before they reached him, and straightened his white tunic, and stood very straight.
"You will need me," he said to the Speaker, still level, still calm. "No one else knows the Union's lanes."
