Chapter 19: The Heir of Falk
Two of Falk's men carried Brage to the front of the hall and set him on a bench.
He sat hunched, in his ruined green velvet, with a wet cloth at his throat.
The healers said he would live.
They also said he would not speak above a whisper until spring.
His father stood in front of him.
Falk's Alpha was a heavy man, and he looked heavier now, with the weight of every eye in the hall on his back.
"Stand," he said.
Brage stood.
"You carried a poisoned cup into the Moot of the seven packs."
"I didn't know," Brage whispered.
"I know you didn't know. That is what I will carry the rest of my life."
The old man's voice did not rise.
"You did not ask what was in the cup."
"You never asked about the grain wagons either, though Falk's granary held Hartfell's barley four autumns running."
"Father..."
"You knew it was not honestly bought. You knew who sold it."
