    Summary

    He hears himself speaking with his mother’s cadence, in the soothing way she would welcome him home from a victory - take his head in her lap, stroke his blood-matted hair, and sing him her lullaby of justification.

    “A prince does not ask after love as one begs for a favour. He is made to take. To rule.”

    *

    From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.
