Chapter 14: The Sheet
"A whole day," I said.
"At least." He caught my wrist before I could put more salve on him. "So you don't. Not before a match. Not ever, if you can help it."
"And if a match needs a dragon?"
"Then we lose it as a serpent."
"And my father gets you."
He didn't answer that.
I put the lid back on the salve.
"Then we don't break it until we have to," I said. "And we don't lose."
The gossip sheet came out on Thursday.
It was one page, printed in the basement of the library by a third-year with ink on his cuffs, and every student in the academy read it before breakfast.
My roommate brought it up to me with her face pinched shut.
The headline ran across the top in thick black letters.
THE POSSUM QUEEN'S SECRET LORD.
Underneath, in smaller type, a story.
Briony Ashlock's serpent was no serpent.
He was the Lord of the Northern Reach, the dragon her own father had promised her to.
She'd known all along.
She'd lured him into her dormitory room at night to buy a partner no other keeper could match.
Every win was bought in bed.
