Ruen wrote back to his cousin, accepting the offer of patronage after careful consideration. Even within the family, within the various bloodlines, connections were always necessary. This Ruen had always known, though he had until now considered such truths irrelevant to his existence.

He did not hold out hope for a better offer. He had an inkling of how swiftly the family would have acted if they were truly interested in him. Had been surprised, truly, to receive the offer at all.

They had never been interested in him before. And he did not think his new powers would change that. Though he was technically now part of the line of succession, he was so low on the list as to be negligible, and the lateness of his awakening ensured that he would never be considered a serious prospect for advancement. Even the curse he had received – he had received no others since, and even the precautions he had begun to take before every meal, before his baths, before he went to sleep for the night all seemed silly now, mere whims of paranoia.

It was as Astarte had said. He would no doubt spend the rest of his life playing catch-up with the others of his generation.

That was fine. He had never expected more. Had no particular ambitions even now.

But it was as if an entire universe had opened up to him overnight. As if all the doors that had been locked to him all his life had suddenly flung open, inviting him to explore what lay beyond.

And that was enough. More than enough.

Ready. Ruen did not consider himself even close to ready. Could not even begin to imagine what that might mean.

And though part of him was undeniably happy that he had already been granted access to opportunities once forbidden him, another, secret part of him hoped that he would never be ready.

She had taken to the habit of forcing him to attend lessons in the nude. The better to see if he were truly alert, she’d claimed.

But Ruen knew better. Knew that she enjoyed seeing his discomfort, his terrible resistance against the cold. Enjoyed the fact that he could no longer hide his arousal from her. Not that he’d ever been able to, he suspected now.

“I’m tired,” Astarte announced abruptly one day, after a particularly grueling practice session.

The remark was unusually forthright for her, and Ruen suppressed the urge to apologize – it was he who had made the lesson so difficult, with his headaches
