Summary
“My Lord, it is time to discuss the results of your latest physical.” Domina Audry said with a resigned tone. “The patterns I have been observing in the past few physicals have unfortunately not changed. Your magic is bolstering you still, but the physical and cognitive exhaustion remains despite our efforts. For any other man who is not a great mage such as yourself the strain would have long since become unbearable.” She took a deep breath and raised her eyes to meet mine—a very rare occasion. “My Lord, for anyone else I would be recommending retirement right now.”
What would happen if the Imperial Household tried to help their Lord retire sooner?

Summary
My brother gave me that choice. He was everything I had ever hoped for in a husband, everything I had ever dreamed of in a brother, everything one could desire in an Emperor.
I could only stammer, again, that it was his choice, that I was dutiful. I did not know how to say _no_, it was not something anyone had deemed necessary to teach me.

Summary
“Kip,” I said, and my voice came out tight. “Did a piece of glass hit you? Here, let me—” and I reached around to check the wound. If the glass had nicked him that was one thing, but if it had—had punctured—
But it wasn’t a piece of glass at all. It took me a moment, my fingers meeting Kip’s, trembling and wet with blood, over the objected embedded in his side, to realize what it was.
It was a dart.
