    Summary

    Henry returns to Rattay after many months away, and Heinrich sees the side of his father that loves.

    “Henry!”

    Three heads rise to the balcony, where Heinrich’s father is leaning over the balusters looking down. The chill wind pulls at the loose ends of his hair and the gaping collar of his tunic, though he shows no reaction to the cold. He’s almost never up this early — grousing if he’s woken before noon — but his eyes are wide awake now, fixed on Henry alone.

    Heinrich senses himself shrinking back into the shape of a child, small and wet and instantly forgotten. He bristles with disappointment. Henry is beyond him now. And the courtyard, the village, the knights, the rain, his mother. All are secondary to Lord Hans Capon, who only has to call his name.

    Summary

    Henry is a commoner, and as such, he has little use for the fear mongering of sin. Every peasant knows that for most indiscretions, God merely averts his gaze. Holiness is for those who deem themselves above the muck of the farmhands and tavern girls, whose hands thumb rosaries uncalloused and whose milk-skinned knees do not ache on the church floor.

    Which is to say, it's not the first time he's fucked a man.

    To be clear, there was no ardency involved, simply an adequate amount of liquor and the desire of pleasure for pleasure's sake.

    But everything in the world has changed for him since he was assigned to his Lord.

    Summary

    After the Siege of Suchdol is brought to an end, Henry and Hans work out where exactly they've left things with each other.

    .

    Stepping over the threshold into the bedchamber and bolting the door behind him, a shudder wracks through him, explodes in his veins like birds startling from treetops into air. It is impossible for his body to ignore the echo of the desperate hour they passed together here on the eve of the last battle. The memory hangs in every shadow. Each floorboard knows the rhythm of their battered, beating hearts.
