Written to Die for the Angel, So I Exposed Her First novel · Chapter 19 of 24
Chapter 19: Nine Days
On the fourth day, six of the Queen's guards came for Perrine at her own loft door.
She was on her knees on the floor with a chalk line and a half-cut staysail when she heard the boots.
Not the harbor guard's soft sailors' tread.
Hard, matched, and many.
"Garance," she said.
"I hear it."
"Take the girls out the back," Perrine said.
"I'll do nothing of the sort."
The door opened without a knock.
A tall captain in the Crown's grey and silver stood on the threshold with a paper in his hand.
"Perrine Valmorin."
"I'm here."
"By warrant of Her Majesty the Queen, and on the sworn statement of the bowman, you are taken into the Crown's keeping on a charge of conspiracy to defame and murder." He read it off the paper, flat. "Search the premises."
"I'm a witness," Perrine said, getting up. "The King said so himself."
"The King said you were to be heard. The Queen has since had other evidence."
