TRIAL BY FIRE 13

A tired cwen walked back to her room, not feeling so much like the queen that her title denoted and more like an ordinary woman, spent from a day trying to be someone greater than she was. Dressed only in the loose cloak that she’d been given, she found herself too tired to care. She’d lost her self-consciousness in the light of the day’s events; all that mattered was saving Ygrena’s life.

When she arrived at her hallway she greeted a guard who stood at attention as soon as he saw her.

“You,” she said. “Would you please fetch me the medic, and quickly? And please send someone to fix me a bath.”

“Of course, my lady.”

She had recently requested that one of the iron tubs be brought to her room so that she didn’t have to go elsewhere to bathe. This suited her nicely, as she could take a hot bath as she relaxed by the open window, allowing fresh air and the scent of the sea to waft in.

She closed the door, removed the cloak and washed herself briefly at the basin on her dresser before slipping the garment back on. Gwynne wished that she’d had the forethought to steal some bath gel from the apothecary when she’d been in Trekilling, but after all, that had been far from a priority.

When the medic arrived, Gwynne told him what had happened.

“I have drugs,” she said. “Medicine, I mean. If I must I’ll find a way to acquire more. But meanwhile you need to distribute what I don’t need for Ygrena to the other patients. Remember to keep your face mask on and to keep the patients isolated. Is that clear?”

“Yes, my lady,” he replied. Gwynne had a hard time discerning whether he was impressed at her knowledge and the authority in her voice, or disgusted at being offered instruction in no uncertain terms from a woman.

But she didn’t care a bit.

The man took what she offered and left without another word. Gwynne had only to hope that he would be responsible with the distribution of the antibiotics.
