Chapter 14: The Sixth Day
Kyrian's face closed.
"I said nothing."
"You said where she came from. As if it were a place. As if you'd asked."
"Not in a palace corridor, Ravielle."
"Then where?"
He took her elbow and walked her out to the yard, past her own carriage and Hanne's raised eyebrows, and put her into his plain black one.
In his study the fire was already lit, and his grandfather's ugly stag glared down from the mantel.
Kyrian shut the door and turned the key.
"Tell me," Ravielle said.
"Six days after you fell," he said, "they let me into your sickroom."
He stood with his back to the fire.
"You were sitting up. Somebody had brushed your hair. You looked at me and you smiled, and you thanked me for the roses."
"I don't like roses."
"I know. I'd sent them to annoy you." His mouth moved, not quite a smile. "You'd never thanked me for anything in your life. I once pulled you out of the river at the spring fair, and you told me I'd ruined your hem."
"You had."
"So I sat down by the bed and told you I'd come to collect my forfeit. From Thursday."
Her heart had begun to go very hard.
"And she said, 'What forfeit, Your Grace?'"
The fire cracked.
