Dumped the Oathbreaker for His War God Uncle novel · Chapter 21 of 32
Chapter 21: The Legion
The barracks were lit.
Every lamp was burning, and the long room beside the parade ground rang with iron.
Four hundred men were arming.
They'd laid their spears down at Phaedon's feet four days ago.
There were four hundred new ones now, rough ash shafts with the bark still on.
The captain stood on a table in the middle of them, strapping on a breastplate.
He saw me in the door and didn't stop.
"My lady," he said. "Go home."
"I am home."
"Go to the Iron House, then, and bar the door, and when the Sun guards come asking, you were asleep."
I walked down the room between the benches.
Men stepped back to let me through.
Nobody met my eyes.
"Get down off the table," I said.
"No, my lady."
"Then I'll come up."
I climbed onto the bench, and from the bench onto the table, in my skirts, and stood in front of him.
The room went quiet in rings.
He was forty and scarred and missing half an ear, and he looked down at me.
"He's in a cuff made for your wrist," he said.
