.There Wren was left largely alone.She wandered about aimlessly.All theenjoyment had gone out of the place, the new things, and the sunshiny day.Somehow the hours passed.The shadows changed and the light turned gold, thenfaded.Lur brought food in once, but Wren found that she could not eat.At sunset Fleris appeared, her eyes still red-rimmed.Both Lur and Wren greetedher with Any news? Fleris shook her head quickly. Except that new runner from the kitchens is alsomissing.And poor Mavin, who was supposed to have met me with the tray, wasfound in her room half dreaming and moaning from some terrible sickness that tookher during the night.They think she was poisoned.And they believed this! Shepulled her bandage down and pointed to a big, purple-red bruise at her hairline. We re to wait, to act as if nothing s happened, until the steward tells us further. She spoke to Lur when she said that.Wren felt peculiar, as if she had momentarily disappeared.By the next day, that feeling had increased.They don t know what to do with me,she thought as she prowled around her room once more.She d tried to go to thegarden, but Lur told her to stay inside.Later, when Fleris brought a tray of food in,Wren said, Is anyone looking around for that wicked Andreus? Fleris said quickly, That s up to the King and Master Halfrid.And the ScarletGuard. Wren said nothing more, but she thought about that.Another thing bothered heras well.What would they do with her if the days stretched on and they still could notfind Tess? I won t go back to Three Groves.Not until I know what s happened.But in her mind the urge grew stronger not just to ask, but to do something.Night fell with her again unable to sleep.After several long and twitchy hours shesat up in bed.I know I remember that spell, and trying anything has got to bebetter than this.She rose, rummaged in the trunk for a fresh dress, put it on, then stretched outher hand in the darkness.In her mind she saw very clearly the way Mistress Leila scapable fingers had sketched that gesture in the air.Wren mimed it carefully.At thesame time she murmured the two words.She disappeared.Chapter Four« ^ »While Wren was still sitting in the dark trying to decide what to do, Queen Astren satalone in her own splendid room, staring out the darkened windows.She jumped up when a soft knock sounded on the door and opened it herself.Standing outside was her youngest sister Leila. I came as soon as I got your message, Leila said. Halfrid and Falstan and therest of the Magic Council are all gone.What s happening now? The Queen lifted her hands as her sister sat down. They are reasonably certainthat the person who took Teressa was a new kitchen runner known as Jasran.Shewas quiet, polite, neat, and it turns out no one really knew her.We questioned Tam,the footman who originally spoke for her, and found out that he did not remember having done so at all.Shown the records clearly stating that he stood for her hejust repeated that he did not know any Jasran, and the only two people he d spokenfor were his cousin s twins, out in the stable. This fresh? Leila gestured toward the tea on a side table.The Queen nodded. In hopes you d arrive soon, little sister. Leila smiled briefly while pouring out and stirring her tea. So they suspect adream spell was put on your footman? I take it lower servants aren t checked fortraces of magic on being hired? That s what I heard over the supper I could not eat. Eat, Astren.You ll only get sick, and if Andreus is behind this, he d probablyjust love hearing how everyone in Cantirmoor either wilted or panicked.Besides, oneof Andreus s chief charms is his long memory for those who ve crossed him. Sheleaned forward and pushed one of the fresh rolls into the Queen s hand. Comenow.Eat, or Mama will be most displeased. The Queen smiled a little. Mama.How frightened I used to be of her.Has shebeen told? Leila smiled wryly as she sipped her tea. Who knows? She can t help unlessTeressa was taken as part of a nasty plot by certain of our cousins.But they wouldhardly show this kind of finesse [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
