Chapter 26: The Throne Oath
"Sit down," Phaedon said, without turning round.
Ismene didn't sit.
Her mother was on her feet behind her, clutching at the ivory silk.
"She's his wife," my stepmother cried to the hall. "She's been his wife an hour. A wife's word against her husband is nothing!"
The eldest councillor leaned on his staff.
"Against her husband," he said. "Let's hear who it's against before we throw it out."
Ismene walked down the gold floor to the lamp.
Phaedon stood at it, with his hand still half raised over the flame.
She stopped a step away from him, and he had to move aside or be seen not to.
He moved.
She pulled at the fingers of her gold glove, one at a time, and drew it off.
The whole hall saw her right hand, black to the wrist, on her wedding morning.
Somebody in the benches made a small sick sound.
Ismene dropped the glove on the floor.
Then she lifted her left hand over the Oath Flame, pale and whole.
"On Nysa's name," she said. "Every word I say is about me. Only me."
