Calia followed him back up the stairs, still trying to play the role of a perfect servant. But once through the doorway of his rooms she could do it no more and kicked her shoes off with a sigh of relief and slumped into her chair.

The king eyed her curiously but did not berate her.

“My feet hurt,” she said defensively. “You try standing in a corner for hours in shoes like that.”

“I do not have to. I am the king,” he said drily. “Now tell me what your impressions are after that lovely meeting.”

Calia settled back in her chair and gathered her thoughts. “The father is a boisterous drunk. His older daughter is afraid of him, not you, and the younger one is still a floozy.”

The Cold King laughed and took the chair next to her.

“What else?”

Calia frowned. “Well, he spent most of his time bragging about his family.”

“About what in particular?”

Calia shuddered. “His virulent son, his big hipped wife…He really is trying to marry off the floozy. To you?”

The king nodded, not taking his eyes from the low fire.

“But why? Surely he wouldn’t want his daughter tied to you for the rest of her life,” Calia sputtered. “I mean, you never take off that mask, you will never die.” She winced, suddenly realizing what she had just said.
