After three days, Nithea declared Paulo ready to eat real food. On the fifth day, I took him walking a few steps through the halls. A week and his ribs no longer pained him so badly, though Nithea kept them bound up tight. His hands remained heavily bandaged. Nithea had begun to “work the bones” now the festering was gone. Paulo didn’t want me with them when she did this, saying only that he’d be grateful if I could find some herb that deadened feeling ...

maybe from the neck down ... while she worked her magic.

“What she does isn’t magic,” I told him. “It’s just the way of things here.” I explained it all again as I had to Roxanne.

“And the princess ... ”

“She’s civil. Zanore takes her walking every morning, and Vroon says she’s trying to teach the servants how to sew and how to serve food properly and make her bed. She’s not hit anyone or taken an ax to them.”

“That’s a surprise. She seems such a ... ”

“ ... wretched brat?”

“Yeah, that.”

“She is. Whenever I see her, she takes me to task about the food, the clothes, the temperature, no windows, her bodyguards, no sunlight ... everything. I think it’s just she doesn’t know how not to complain. I stay as far away from her as I can.”

“She is fine-looking, though, even when I saw her. Strange to think you might have been married to her by now.” Paulo seemed to enjoy the thought.

I just found it alarming. “So, I guess some good came out of my being stolen away.”

He raised his eyebrows and shook his head. “Someday you’ll get all this sorcery and doom and king business out of your head and figure out there’s other things for a man to think about.”
