Chapter 13: The Door
Ryota looked at the inky hand beside his own, and then up at the old man's face.
"You speak Japanese," he said, in Japanese.
"She talked a great deal," Morvaine said. "In the castle kitchens, every evening, while she burned the cook's flour. I sat in the corner and listened."
His voice was soft enough that the nobles at the high table heard only a foreign murmur.
"They swore in the king's hall, Mr. Kishibe. Nothing you say unswears them." He glanced at the four heroes. "All you've given them is thirty-nine nights of fear instead of thirty-nine nights of sleep."
"Did she teach you before you cut her pages out, or after?"
Morvaine smiled at him.
"Go back to your kitchen," he said. "It's the only home you have now."
Then he straightened, turned to the king and said in Ardescan, "The peddler wished the heroes luck, Majesty. It's a custom of their country."
The king nodded and lifted his cup, and the hall drank to luck.
The steward took Ryota's elbow again, harder this time.
