I recognized a few other faces aside from Nika and Moritz, but could not remember where I had seen them before. Still, it did not matter; the bodies lined up at their feet were of far more importance, all three of them lost to an eternal sleep. I had known all of them so intimately. I tried to take hold of an arm but it was already like gripping hard stone, and so cold as to no longer feel human. As I knelt there, I heard Moritz speaking to me from where he stood at their heads.

“I would like to ask that you confirm the identities of these three,” he said. “We have already been able to confirm that the young man is Sven, son of the margrave, but unfortunately we do not know who the women are. Are we right to assume that this one is the margrave’s other wife?”

“Moritz!” spat Nika. “Put a little more thought into your choice of words!”

“Do you think sentimental words will bring any of them back to life?” he replied. “Lady Karen made the decision to come here; she knew what she was walking into.”

“That’s not what I’m saying! I’m asking you to be more considerate!”

“Cap, calm down...” urged Elena.

Nika made her feelings about Moritz’s attitude clear, and people on both sides urged them to calm. It was for this reason that only Sofie heard the words I muttered.

“This is Sven, his fiancée...and his mother...”

I remembered Sven dying with his eyes open, but all of the corpses now had their eyes closed. I was grateful to the imperial forces for this small courtesy; I did not think I could have beared to look upon their muddied, empty gazes. And yet, at the same time, a painful truth impressed itself upon me; that we would never look each other in the eyes again. A gaping white emptiness opened itself in my heart, and I crumpled to my knees by the three bodies. I put a hand to their faces, and was only brought to my feet by a whisper in my ear.

“My apologies. It’s freezing out here, isn’t it?”

We headed for the second floor. Though I had used the corridors without so much as a second glance in the past, now I was aware of a red line drawn from something having been dragged along the floor. Farther down was one of the margrave’s guards, slumped against the wall. He had left us just before we headed for the secret passage, and no doubt he had fought until the bitter end; he had breathed his last breath with his sword still clutched tight in hand.

Through the open doors and in the room beyond was a head of conspicuous head of blond hair. It spun to face me, and for a brief second our eyes met, but just as quickly my gaze was ripped away and to a sight farther in the room.

I did not have the words to express the state of my heart when I saw the man.
