Summary
"You're under an enchantment, Cliopher. The good news is that the protections his Radiancy has placed on you have shielded you; the bad news is that the protections that block the spell are also reflecting it, meaning that instead of you it affects everyone who comes near you. You may have noticed an unusual propensity for candor in your vicinity today?"
A reverse truth serum plot leads to Cliopher having a very strange day.

Bookmark Notes:
By the time they had made it to the first antechamber, Cliopher was both offended and touched by how many people – mostly members of the Service, but the occasional courtier as well – seemed to be concerned for his wellbeing and willing to berate him for working too much, faintly amused by the comments, both shy and knowing, from people who “knew” that he was trying to overthrow the government and wanted to let him know that they approved, and alarmed by the amount of direct propositions he had received.
