Summary
I had made the path from the mountain pass to my door as ill-suited to courtly guests as was humanly possible without it being overt, but still this monstrosity teetered resolutely towards me.
Chapter 3 of Uprooted from Sarkan's point of view.
In which we have some unwelcome guests, we learn EXACTLY what Sarkan thinks of Prince Marek, and our hero finds himself an unwitting accomplice in the attempted murder of said prince.
This is a re-write of Uprooted from Sarkan's point of view - it follows the story of Uprooted very closely and will spoil stuff if you've not read the book. The story and most of the dialogue are Naomi Novik's (except when Agnieszka isn't about, and then I get to have fun with it).
This was a weird project which came out of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it got hard to concentrate on my own writing and this seemed like a suitably mad thing to get into.
WARNING: I chose not to use archive warnings on this, but - as those of you familiar with Uprooted will know - this is the chapter in which Marek attempts to assault Agnieszka. Sarkan blusters into this situation after the fact, so there is no description of the assault, but reference is made to it.
