Chapter 24: Two Against the Court
The physician stood with his back against the door.
"Your Highness," he said. "You shouldn't be in here."
"Neither should you."
"I was told to look for you."
"By whom?"
"By the Minister."
Bua put the ledger under his arm.
"Move away from the door."
"Your Highness, I can't."
Ton picked up the lamp and set it down on the desk.
Then he walked around the desk and stood at Bua's shoulder.
"You're the one who's been treating my sister," he said.
The physician looked at him.
"I am."
"For eleven months."
"I am."
"Krit paid you."
The man's mouth opened.
Bua held up the ledger.
"It's in here. Monthly, in silver. Additional, in gold, on the instruction of my lord Khem."
The physician looked at the page.
