Summary
He recognizes, in the lavishness of the meal set before him, Ambrose’s desire to share his celebration. Yet the drink is tasteless on his tongue. The berries that burst between his teeth, half-bitter, are too much sensation to bear. He eats; he drinks; he offers fragments of response to Ambrose’s conversation. Glancing through mirrors at the open windows behind him, he longs for the chill of frigid northern winds.
But he is a guest. So he stays.
Rodrigue, grieving the loss of his wife, accepts Margrave Gautier's offers of comfort. It's still very difficult to keep his mind where it's supposed to stay.Margrave Gautier tries to help.

Summary
Ambrose draws his hand away. “No,” he says, tasting the word, “there’s a better place for this.”
He steps back. Rodrigue, half undressed, in disarray, and quiet in his favorite spot, watches him. “Ambrose,” he says, voice hoarse in his throat. And not even from—how nice, already.
Rodrigue Achille Fraldarius and Margrave Gautier kick off a return to a relationship of the intimate variety a decade later, under the worst of circumstances. (Or, perhaps the happiest, if Ambrose were the one asked.)Series

Summary
“I miss Mama,” Glenn tells him once more, quieter this time. “Why can’t she come back?”
Rodrigue knows that, if he had died and Eris had lived, Eris would be no better suited to explain this than he. He knows that she had often deferred these things to him, trusting in his court-bred tact over her blunt manner. He knows that he was the more measured between them, and she had always struggled with the emotions of others, their tears above all else.
Even so, he wonders.
Rodrigue comes home to his children, who are now without a mother. He does his best to be a good father.Series

He will bring the king back to his senses.
Rodrigue finally goes to where he is supposed be: to Fhirdiad, to Lambert. To his duty as advisor to the king.Series
