Chapter 31: The Prince Who Bought Witches
I didn't have to think about it.
"Come to Velde," I said. "On the twenty-eighth of August."
The king frowned.
"That's all? Forty thousand marks, and you ask for a visit?"
"There's a stone by the mine head where Velde cuts the names of the people the mine has cost," I said.
"There are new names on it."
"Come and read them out. In the square, where the town can hear you."
He understood me then.
I watched him understand it.
"I'll come," he said.
He came.
On the twenty-eighth of August, a year to the day since I woke up beside a pyre, the king rode into Velde.
He brought twenty guards, the Master of the Mint and no Finders, because there weren't any anymore.
Velde met him at the gate with its whole population and a good part of the valley.
It wasn't six hundred people anymore.
Since the spring, families had walked up the valley road every week to work the silver.
The town had spilled out past the widow's wall.
The king looked at the new roofs and the engine breathing on the hill.
