Arilyn’s little palace before she sent them on. A great many wilders, every one staring at the Aes

Sedai as if at flea-ridden curs covered with running sores, tracking mud over a new rug. Some people

looked at Aes Sedai with awe or adoration, others with fear or hate, but Cadsuane had never seen

contempt before, not even from Whitecloaks. Even so, any people who produced so many wilders

should be sending a river of girls to the Tower.

That would have to be seen to eventually, and to the Pit of Doom with custom if need be, but not

now. The al’Thor boy needed to be kept intrigued enough that he allowed her near him, and off-

balance enough that she could nudge him where she wanted without him realizing. One way or

another, anything that might interfere with that must be controlled or suppressed. Nothing could be

allowed to influence him, or upset him, in the wrong way. Nothing.

The shiny black coach was waiting in the courtyard behind a patient team of six matched grays.

A serving man rushed to open the door painted with a pair of silver stars atop red and green stripes,

bowing to the three of them till his bald head was nearly level with his knees. He was in shirt-sleeves

and breeches. Since coming to the Sun Palace, she had not noticed anyone in livery yet, except a few

wearing Dobraine’s colors. No doubt the servants were unsure what to wear and afraid to make a

mistake.

“I may skin Elaida when I can lay hands on her,” she said as the coach lurched into motion.

“That fool child has made my task nearly impossible.”

And then she laughed so abruptly that Daigian stared before she could control her eyes. Corele’s

smile widened in anticipation. Neither understood, and she did not try to explain. All of her life, the

fastest way to interest her in anything had been to tell her it was impossible. But then, over two

hundred and seventy years had passed since she last encountered a task she could not perform. Any

day now might be her last, but young al’Thor would be a fitting end to it all.
