One day earlier
“But have you seen Henry yourself?” Charlotte pressed, trying to keep the
desperation out of her voice. “Have you spoken to him?”
The man in front of her—the one Gwen had introduced as Count Oswin
—hesitated, and her heart contracted. What had the mountain queen done to
Henry?
“As far as I know he is well enough,” the count said at last. “But I
haven’t actually exchanged words with him. Queen Celandine has been
keeping him in solitary confinement since his abrupt appearance the night
before last. I only know he reappeared because a number of us were
together at the time, in consultation with the queen.”
“You think she would have hidden his arrival if she could?” Gwen
asked, and Charlotte tried to focus on their conversation instead of her
overpowering fear for her husband.
At least Henry was still alive, and she now knew where he was. Her
determination to rescue him had already brought her further than he had
believed possible.
“I’m certain she would have preferred to conceal him,” Count Oswin
said without hesitation. “She’s still pretending you’re in the castle—in
seclusion as you recover from a bout of ill health. But since you’re not
there, the presence of the prince creates a significant problem for her.”
“Because they’re supposed to get married,” Charlotte said in a flat
voice.
The count threw her an uncomfortable look. “Precisely. Of course we
didn’t know about your existence…” He trailed off, clearly uneasy with the
situation.
They all fell silent momentarily, and the count gathered himself,
returning to his previous polished air.
“Why don’t we all sit down?” He looked behind him at the selection of
seating, his face puckering slightly in distaste.
Charlotte echoed his sentiments. The threadbare nature of the furniture
didn’t bother her, but everything in the basement looked like it needed a
good clean.
