âCarlyle!â I shouted at Marchese Carnienâs back as he walked ahead of me down the secret passage, chatting with Marchese Folonto. The committee had adopted his motion and dispersed.
Carlyle looked back with exasperation. âForgive me, Fossi,â he said. âGo on without me. All proceeds as planned.â
âVery well.â
Having sent the other marchese on ahead, Carlyle stopped and greeted me with a buffoonish bow. âDonna Rondoiro! To what do I owe this pleasure? I hate to disappoint you, but I doubt I can make time for tea.â
âBe serious!â I snapped, shoving Carlyle against a white stone wall.
âMy, how passionate. Unfortunately, I have a lovely wife already and so must decline.â
âEnough! Church inquisitors?! And fighting in the city of water? Are you mad?â
âIâm perfectly sane. Now, would you please unhand me?â
I slowly released Carlyle. In our student days, he had been hailed as a genius. Everyone had expected great things from him. The previous Marchese Carnien would never have invited him to marry into the family otherwise. Someone with his brains had to know how dangerous an alliance with the churchâs uncanny inquisitors and apostles could be!
Carlyle straightened his collar under my reproachful glare. âIt comes down to choosing the lesser evil,â he said. âIf we side with the Leinsters, theyâll eventually take all five northern principalities. The Church of the Holy Spirit, on the other hand, has no interest in territory. Their interests lie in an entirely different direction.â
âThatâs no excuse!â I shouted.
Carlyleâs expression changed. He looked like the old Carlyleâthe one Iâd loved. âA word of advice for old timesâ sake,â he whispered in my ear. âHave nothing more to do with me or the church. And leave the city as soon as you canâby next Lightday at the latest. But donât dream of going home to Rondoiro. If you do...â
Youâll die. No one can vanquish that monsterânot even the Lady of the Sword and her Brain.
Carlyle turned on his heel and left before I could question him. He never looked back again.
âWhat?â I managed at last, standing dazed while a storm raged within me.
Carlyle, what do you want?
âDonna Rondoiro,â a new voice said.
I turned to find a blue-haired young man adjusting his spectacles and looking terribly disgruntled.
âMay I have a word with you?â he asked. âAbout Carlyle.â
âYes,â I answered slowly. âI was just thinking that Iâd like to speak with you too, Don Niche Nitti.â
