CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE

SOLL AND HETCHEL arrived while Jaumé was unrolling his sleeping mat.

“See them?” Vught asked, his voice low. He jerked his head warningly in the direction of the princess.

Soll nodded. “Twelve of ’em,” he said, his voice equally quiet. “Big bastards, well-armed. Soldiers for sure.”

“How far behind?”

“Less than three miles. They’re camped at that last crossroad.” He looked around. “Thought you’d be further ahead than this. Had some trouble?”

Vught grimaced. “Bitch jumped in the river. Nearly drowned.”

Soll grunted. He blew on his hands, rubbed them together, warming them.

“Where’s Krey?” Hetchel asked.

“Drowned.”

Hetchel pulled a face, shrugged. “We come, we go.”

“Three miles, you say?” Vught scowled, raked a hand through his hair. “We’ll have a second sentry tonight, at the half mile mark. Standard signal. Luit, you’re first.”

Luit nodded, and disappeared into the darkness.

Jaumé helped Soll and Hetchel unsaddle their horses, but when he came back to the fire, Bennick pointed at the sleeping mat. “Bed.”

Jaumé obeyed silently. He curled up in his blanket, listening to the wind, listening to the murmur of voices. The four Brothers were dark silhouettes by the fire, leaning close to one another, their voices low.

Twelve of ’em. Big bastards.

Jaumé shivered. He was afraid. Was he going to die tomorrow?
