Chapter 31: The Gift That Names Her Cost

Vessa did not stop at the bench. She walked straight to the table where Sera sat, laid a grey wax key-impression on the wood, and spoke before the guards had even shifted.

'I have the record,' she said. 'The one you have been chasing for weeks. It names your birth room and your transfer, and I will place it before the panel tonight, on one condition.'

The gallery had gone quiet. Sera kept her hands flat on the table and did not look at Kael at the back of the room, because she could feel him standing there not speaking, exactly as she had told him to.

'Name it,' Sera said.

Vessa took the folded page from inside her coat and held it up. The seal was old, the wax dull, and the scribe was already on his feet, reaching for it.

'The condition is this,' Vessa said. 'You accept the transfer as lawful. You withdraw every charge that touches me, and you withdraw your challenge to my place before the founding bloodline. The page says the infant was surrendered by the family, the transport was paid, and the record is clean. You agree to that reading, and the record enters. You refuse, and I walk it out that door, and you argue your name against a page nobody can produce.'
