    Summary

    The soldiers were drinking because the battle was over. They were drinking because the war had ended, and because they’d lost. They were drinking because they wouldn’t have to risk death on the end of an Akielon blade tomorrow, and because they could finally go home. They were drinking, and laughing, and sharing ribald stories.

    Laurent wanted to scream at all of them to shut up. He wanted to rage and weep.

    How could they celebrate? How, when Auguste was dead?
