Summary
The message from the Queen was simplicity itself. It said, A man from your world has wandered into ours. He ate our food of his own free will; thus we may not return him unfed, as our oaths require. He will have a better life here, think you not?

Summary
Kiri cleared her throat, and the secretaries looked up as one. She waved the letters in one hand. “The stack in the second pigeonhole, what sort of letters are these?”
“The ones from people who aren’t crackpots, but don’t need help from our office.”
Cliopher nodded, satisfied. “Indeed, well-sorted.”
Kiri held up a finger to silence him. “And?”
There was a brief pause, before Gaudy gave an almost inaudible sigh and answered. “And who are flirting with Lord Mdang.”

Summary
Rhodin sipped his coffee. “Are us roommates cramping your style?”
“No,” Conju demurred, in a way which clearly meant yes. “I value you all deeply and am satisfied with a . . . laissez-faire . . . living situation in our retirement.”
Ludvic stirred his coffee. Rhodin peeled a banana in a desultory way. They waited.
Conju sighed. “It’s just–“ Ludvic and Rhodin leaned forward as Conju continued, “– why does he have to be underfoot all the time? Overnight?! I came down for a drink last week and nearly broke my neck tripping over a middle-aged aristocrat. It’s undignified.”

Summary
The spear butt struck the side of his face, knocking him to the smooth marble floor. He was tired enough to lie there, gasping, until one of the guards hooked their hand into the loop of his arms where they were bound behind him, and hauled him back to his knees.
“We will try that again,” said his interrogator. The man was wearing the full panoply of the Imperial guard and an incongruously friendly smile. “What is your name, barbarian?”

Summary
He was returning to this day even long centuries later. Was it his fault? Did he move unexpectedly, impatiently, heedless of the etiquette he scorned so much? Or was he just lost in thought and his movement unthinking, careless? Or was it the woman who made the mistake and for one, terrible moment touched the Emperor’s skin?
But no matter how long he spend thinking about that day, the cruel truth of the matter was that he didn’t pay attention to anything and anyone - that he was so wrapped up in his own suffering, he didn’t even notice anything had gone wrong.
Until she started screaming.
The imperial taboo against touching was the strongest of all.
