Chapter 18: Father
Nobody clapped.
Damien raised his glass to the room, and a few of his friends near the dais raised theirs back.
The rest of the court looked at Ravielle.
They were waiting to see the villainess throw something.
She would have liked to.
She walked across the floor instead, slowly, in her crimson silk, and stopped at the foot of the dais steps.
Her father stood two steps above her.
He was looking at the candles over her head.
"Father," she said.
He didn't answer.
"You can't do it looking at the ceiling," she said. "If you're going to take it, look at me while you do."
"Ravielle." Damien's voice was full of pity. "Don't make a scene, cousin. Not here."
"I'm the villainess of the Empire. Scenes are what I'm for."
A few people laughed, and stopped when they saw the duke's face.
He had lowered his eyes.
He was looking at her.
She didn't think he had looked straight at her in a full room since she was two years old.
"You're accused of treason," he said hoarsely. "You've disgraced this house in every way a woman can. Your cousin has carried it for three years without a murmur."
