    Summary

    After a poison steal Hans of his memories of the previous years, he wakes with a wife he doesn't remember marrying and a toddler he doesn't know.

    There is also something he cannot figure out about his bodyguard.

    Hans first noticed the man during his recovery, a strong figure who never seemed to leave his side. He carried himself like a soldier, though his posture was looser than the guards at the gate, and his tongue far less disciplined. He spoke to Hans with a boldness that bordered on insolence, his words more fitting for a comrade than for a servant.

    In time, stern words and the reminder of position were enough to put him in his place, and his boldness was curbed. Still, the unease lingered. Hans could not recall ever appointing Henry, nor why the man seemed to look at him as though mourning something unspoken.

    Summary

    “Where is Henry?” he repeated—this time with a sharper edge of panic in his voice.

    A maid stammered something about checking the courtyard. Someone else mentioned the stables. A third suggested he might already be at the St. Matthew's church.

    Hans’s pulse spiked.

    What if Henry had gone?

    What if the thought of seeing Hans wed to another had undone him? What if he had left, ridden toward Kuttemberg or far away God knew where, unable to watch the man he loved bind himself to someone he did not?

    No.
    No, Henry wouldn’t.
    Not like that. Not after the promises of last night, and the nights before.

    Summary

    Hans watches Henry even when he knows he shouldn’t.

    It’s an old habit, formed sometime between their first campaign and the long rides that followed through forests scented of pine sap and damp earth. Watching is safer than wanting, after all. Watching requires no confession, no absolution.

    Or, Hans wishing—not for the first time—that he weren’t Lord Capon but a damn wooden spoon.

    Summary

    Henry's nightmares have been worsening, and running away from them isn't helping.

    Before… everything… Henry never had trouble sleeping. If it weren't for the nightmares that unfurl behind his eyelids each time he closes them for longer than a blink, he’d sleep like the dead. His ma used to say that the house could splinter and fall to pieces in the middle of the night and he would sleep through it all.

    But now, Henry wakes up in a cold sweat most nights, back sticking to the bed, shivering from the chill that sweeps over him as his skin meets the air.
