Chapter 51: The Cradle Vote
Lorenz's POV
They carried them into the Ring on the first day of spring.
The spring ran over its basin and across the flagstones, the way it had for two years now.
I stood outside the stones with the men of Tiefbrunn, with my healed hands in my pockets.
A hundred and forty women filled the circle in their good cloaks.
The Eldest sat in her stone chair with her book open on her knee.
"The Ring has two matters," she said.
"The council of the Erlental received men and wagons from Aldmark in winter, while the pass was shut by this Ring."
"And I move that the ban stand, and the pass stay shut, until the Lord of Velde's engine stops."
The head of the Erlental's council stood up.
"The Erlental took food from Aldmark in winter, because we were starving," she said. "I'd do it again."
"And I move that the ban be lifted, and our valleys opened to Aldmark."
"Hands," she said. "To keep the ban."
Before a hand went up, babies began to cry at the bottom of the square, a great many of them.
The mothers came up the street from the Erlental road four abreast.
There were far more of them than had come to Anke's door in the Erlental.
