"How fares my son and his commoner bride?" the king asked his spies.

"He loves her deeply, milord," the first said.

"He's young, he's yet to learn that love fades. And his bride?"

"She is discontent. Her hands are idle," the second replied.

"Good. If she grows shrewish, perhaps my son will think better of his infatuation."

"He has a plan," the first said. "He intends to send her as his Voice to the Hill Dragons."

"Better. Perhaps she will be eaten." He waved his hand. "Return, before you are missed."

His son and wife's shadows bowed, then faded away.
