Chapter 29: Envoy North

For a moment nobody answered.

Then three Councilors stood up at once.

One offered his son. One offered his nephew. The third offered himself, at some length.

The King listened to all of them with his chin on his hand.

"Thank you," he said. "Sit down."

They sat.

"Mrs. Kerne."

I was still standing at the brass rail beside my parents.

"Your Majesty."

"You read Eastmarch better than the men who wrote that grammar. You found eight lies my treasury paid for, and you found them in a cupboard."

"You've been my daughter's translator for two months. You'll be my envoy to Highmoor from today."

"You'll carry the treaty north and see it sealed at the gate."

The hall was very quiet.

I looked up at the princess.

She was smiling, the first real smile I'd seen on her since the night she told me who I'd marry.

"I'm a translator," I said. "Not a Councilor."

"I didn't ask for a Councilor," said the King. "I've had a Councilor. Look where it got me."

Somebody in the gallery laughed out loud.
