тАЬAre you a sorcerer? DonтАЩt you put me off this time!тАЭ

тАЬWell, as a matter of fact, I am.тАЭ

тАЬThatтАЩs somewhat to the good, at least. I did so hope you were.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll ask you, though, to keep the secret to yourself.тАЭ

Much to her relief, Nevyn restrained himself from lecturing further. Unlike every other adult sheтАЩd ever
known, he didnтАЩt wag his finger and tell her she should be grateful that the Goddess had chosen her for
such a splendid Wyrd, or point out that most women would be glad to have any husband at all, much less
a handsome one. He merely got up and stood looking round the nursery with a slight frown.

тАЬWhy donтАЩt you live down in the womenтАЩs hall? YouтАЩre certainly old enough.тАЭ

тАЬMy poor mother is very ill. Or, well, to tell you the truth, she drinks Bardek wine all day, and then she
weeps and throws herself from side to side and keens for my father, and then she starts in mourning my
elder brother, and everyone says itтАЩs worse for her to have me there, because it bothers her that I lived
when he didnтАЩt.тАЭ

тАЬMaybe I can cure her, once things settle down a bit. But IтАЩve brought jewels from Pyrdon to use as
your dower-gift, and I think weтАЩd best turn some into cold coin and outfit you a set of chambers of your
own, splendid ones befitting your rank. LyrraтАФmay I call you Lyrra?тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩd be honored, Nevyn.тАЭ She got up and curtsied, pleased when he bowed in return.

тАЬLyrra, your life will offer compensations, as I say, and thereтАЩs no reason in the world that you shouldnтАЩt
have them. For the first one, weтАЩll get you out of this dismal nursery. Now, do you have any fancy
clothes?тАЭ

тАЬLots, actually, but theyтАЩre all on the shabby side.тАЭ

тАЬNo doubt. Well, I know naught about such matters myself, but doubtless youтАЩll know what you want
once youтАЩve got the coin for fine cloth and all. Oh, and donтАЩt forget, now that youтАЩre going to be queen,
youтАЩll get to pick serving women of your own.тАЭ

тАЬCan I ask anyone I want?тАЭ

тАЬJust that, and IтАЩll wager theyтАЩre all going to jump at the chance to live at court.тАЭ
