Chapter 23: The Ledger
The guards came across the roof toward me.
The King was still on his knees with his son in his arms.
"Wait," he said. "She saved him."
"And Your Majesty will thank her at the Moot," the Chancellor said. "After she answers for it."
He bent and murmured in the King's ear.
The King's mouth worked.
A guard took my arm.
Another reached for Dorrit.
The prince's hand shot out of the groom's jerkin and closed round Dorrit's wrist.
"Not her," he said, hoarse from the roar. "She's my groom. She stays with me."
The guard looked at the Chancellor.
The Chancellor looked at the heir to the throne, wrapped in a stable jerkin, with half the court watching from the ladder.
"As Your Highness likes," he said.
Dorrit's face was white under her freckles.
"Alys."
"Stay with him," I said. "Keep his name in his ears tonight. He'll try to go again before morning."
That was true.
It also kept her out of a cell.
They walked me down the ladder past the court.
