Wren's POV

That day the Prince came to see Sol as he always did, but this time he didn't come in. The shutter stood half open for the air, and nobody inside looked toward it.

Sol had just fed. He lay in the crook of my arm waving his fists at the ceiling, and I bent over him and patted his back.

Wick came across the room with a smile on her face and an edge in her voice. "He's had his fill, hasn't he? My turn to hold him."

She put out her hands.

I turned my

He lay in the crook of my arm waving his fists at the ceiling, and I bent over him and patted his back.Wick came across the room with a smile on her face and an edge in her voice. "He's had his fill, hasn't he? My turn to hold him."She put out her hands.I turned my shoulder a little. "In a moment. He hasn't brought his wind up yet."Her hands closed on air, and her face went sour. "Oh, can't bear to let go of him? Counting on the young master to lift you up in the world, are we? You might remember what you are. A widow who buried her husband before his time."Fletcher strolled over after her and put on a little coaxing voice. "Hush, Wick, not so loud. She's the hero of the house now. Cross her and she'll make you pay for it."I stood u

    Wren's POVThe King's audience chamber was all gold and height and silence. King Aurelian and Queen Elinor sat at the top of the steps, with Lady Sabine a little to one side.I made my bow behind the Prince's and was bending to kneel with Sol when a mild voice came down to me."Never mind that. You've the child. You needn't kneel."It was the Queen."Thank you, Your Majesty," I said."Well, bring him here," the King said, pleased, his eyes already on the bundle. "Let me see him."The Prince took Sol from me, still sleeping, and carried him up the steps and laid him before his father. I stood below with my hands together and my eyes lowered, though I couldn't keep from watching under my lashes. Don't let them see he isn't his, I begged whatever might be listening."Good little fellow," the King said, and touched Sol's round forehead with one finger. "Small, though."Lady Sabine laughed behind her fan. Her eyes went from S

    Wren's POVDunne's hand went to her chest, and fright came into her face. I knew what she was afraid of, because I was afraid of it too. The King meant to look at this child and decide whether he was the Prince's."He's dressing now," Theo said. "He says the people about the young master are to be ones we can trust."Dunne stopped short, and thought for no time at all, and turned and looked at me.* * *The carriages were drawn up at the front gate, and everyone was very quiet.I stood behind Dunne with Sol in my arms and tried to breathe without noise. What if the King and Queen looked at him and saw he wasn't the Prince's? What would happen to him then? And there was the old rule I had heard of, that a royal pup grew the royal mark on him sooner or later, and the King's house went by it. Sol would never grow one. My hands went cold, and I held him tighter so they wouldn't shake.The Prince was in his court black, with the silver cre

    Wren's POVSol had landed in arms that were wrong in every way. For a breath he went still. Then his nose wrinkled and his mouth turned down, and he began to squirm against Wick."There, there, no crying. Nurse has milk for you," Wick said, with a smile pasted on, shifting him to bring him to the breast.Sol would have none of it. The squirming turned into fighting, and then into an outraged howl, and he pushed at her with his hands and his feet both. Wick's smile slipped.It tore me up to watch. I went toward them. "Wick, he doesn't know you yet. Let me have him."Fletcher put her arm out across my way. She was still smiling, but there was nothing soft in her voice. "Darrow, His Highness and Mistress Dunne both said the three of us are to look after him together. He has to get used to us some time. He can't only ever have you." She glanced at Sol, who was crying so hard he couldn't catch his breath. "Wick means well. Let her try. He'll settle."

    Evander's POVI saw a single drop of milk the pup had missed run slowly down that white skin.For a moment nothing in the room moved.Then her face flooded scarlet. She dropped her chin and hunched to hide herself behind her arm, patting the pup's back with her other hand, and her voice shook so badly I could hardly make out the words."It's nothing, Highness. It came too fast, that's all. He's choked a little. He'll be all right in a moment."I took my eyes away and straightened and turned my face to the wall. My throat moved once. The sight was still in front of me, and the smell of her was still in my nose, warm milk and plain soap and her skin under them."Be careful," I said. My voice came out level, colder than usual, and only a little tight at the end. I didn't go any nearer. "Settle him."She nodded over and over, and lifted the pup to her shoulder and rubbed his back, humming to him under her breath. The coughing stopped and

    Evander's POVHe wasn't wrong to doubt it. "Go on.""I saw those two women myself, Highness. Old clothes, and frightened out of their wits. They didn't look like anybody's kept woman. They looked like people running for their lives. And if Duskmere only wanted rid of a mistress's brat, they could find some excuse and do it in the open. Why all the creeping about?" He paused. "I think there's more in it. Shall I keep at it?""Leave it for now. We've more pressing things.""Highness.""And where the pup came from doesn't leave this room. Not one word."He bowed. At the door he gave me a look that asked, plainly, why a man as careful as I was didn't seem to care whose pup it was. He didn't ask it aloud.Outside, I heard Dunne meet him on the walk, half laughing and trying to keep her voice down."We've found one, Captain! You'll never guess. The widow, the one who wouldn't go. The young master took one look at her and fed like a l
