Chapter 21: The Marshal
The Marshal didn't move.
He sat on his white horse in the front rank, with his gold chain across his chest.
A hundred spears stood behind him, and he looked at Isabeau for a long time.
"Marshal!" Maximin screamed. "In the name of the Flame!"
"I heard you, Your Holiness."
"Then do it!"
The Marshal dismounted.
He did it slowly.
He stood on the grass in his plate armor and looked up at the golden Wheel.
Then he reached up with both hands and lifted the chain of office over his head.
"I gave an order on that road, and I will not give it again," he said.
His voice was rough, and every man in the front ranks could hear it.
"I have buried six hundred men in this war for the Temple. Six hundred."
He let the chain drop in the dirt.
"I watched her heal my sister's boy at the north line this morning. He was dying of the cough. He's breathing now."
