Kindle Notes & Highlights
Burrich and Molly and their children are well. They have Nettle and little Chivalry and another on the way. Molly tends her hives and candle shop, while Burrich has used stud fees from Reddy and Reddy’s colt to begin to breed horses again.
Kettricken bore a son, Prince Dutiful.
Chade no longer lives in the shadows, but is the honoured advisor to the Queen. According to Starling, he is a foppish old man who is entirely too fond of the company of young women.
No one is quite sure where the Fool went or what became of him after that. Starling believes he returned to his homeland. Perhaps. Perhaps, somewhere there is a toymaker who makes puppets that are a delight and a marvel. I hope he wears an earring of silver and blue. The fingerprints he left on my wrist have faded to a dusky grey. I think I will always miss him.
My boy has learned what that look means, and he measures the elfbark carefully to deaden me. Carry me he adds that I may sleep, and ginger to mask the elfbark’s bitterness. Then he brings me paper and quill and ink and leaves me to my writing. He knows that when morning comes, he will find me, head on my desk, sleeping amidst my scattered papers, Nighteyes sprawled at my feet. We dream of carving our dragon.
