Chapter 26: Kronhal Gate
Lorenz's POV
"The Midsummer list was signed this morning," the gate sergeant told me. "All of it. Hundred and six."
"The king signed it himself. Same as every year."
We were standing at the south gate of Kronhal, in the evening of the twenty-second of June, with eleven wagons behind us.
Above the wall, the roofs went up a hill to a palace with green copper domes.
The king had told me to come alone.
I had brought eleven wagons, each with four horses, and each covered with a tarpaulin roped down tight.
Gerd drove the first.
The miner's son drove the second, and the gate warden drove the third, with a boar spear beside him on the seat.
Under the tarpaulins was every bar of silver Velde had brought up out of the mountain in seven weeks.
Under the tarpaulins of the last two wagons, lying between the bars in the dark, were eighteen women who were supposed to be dead.
"Silver for the Mint," I told the sergeant. "From the royal mine town of Velde."
He looked past me, at the gatehouse.
"I'd wait, my lord," he said quietly.
