Our burden will now be equal with the othersThe... Our burden will now be equal with the othersThe messenger said that the people of this province, the people your father ruled, were singing Brandin's name in the streets of Stevanien
Alessan, moving very carefully, as if he were carrying something large and heavy, that might shift and fall, turned toward DanoleonWho was nodding his head
"It seems that there was an assassination attempt on the Island three days ago," the High Priest said"Originating in Ygrath: the Queen and Brandin's son, the RegentIt apparently failed only because of one of his Tribute womenThe one from Certando who almost started a warYou may remember that, twelve, fourteen years ago? It seems that in the wake of this Brandin has changed his mind about what he has been doingNot about staying in the Palm, or about Tigana and his revenge, but

"And he is going to continue here," Pasithea said"Tigana will die, still be lost forever to his vengeance, but our people will be singing the Tyrant's name as it diesThe name of the man who killed your father
Alessan was nodding his head reflexivelyHe seemed, in fact, scarcely to be listening, as if he had suddenly withdrawn entirely inside himselfPasithea fell silent in the face of that, looking at her sonIt grew deathly still in the roomOutside, far away, the uncontrolled shouts and laughter of the children in the field came to their ears again, the louder for the silence withinDevin listened to that distant mirth and tried to slow the chaos of his heart, to attempt to deal with what they had just heard
He looked at Erlein, who had laid down his harp on
omega speedmaster white the window-ledge and walked a few steps into the room, his expression troubled and waryDevin tried desperately to think, to gather his scattered thoughts, but the news had caught him hopelessly unpreparedWhich was what they wanted, wasn't it? Except that it wasn'tBrandin was staying, they were not free of him, or the weight of his magicAnd Tigana? What of Tigana now?
And then, quite unexpectedly, there was something else bothering himA distracting, niggling awareness tugging at the corner of his mindTelling him there was something he should know, should remember
Then, equally without warning, the something slid forward and into place
In fact, he knew exactly what was wrong
Devin closed his eyes for a moment, fighting a sudden paralyzing fearThen, as quietly as he could, he began working his way along the western
tiffany silver wall away from the fireplace where he had been standing all this time
Alessan was speaking now, almost to himselfHe said: "This changes things of courseIt changes a great dealI'm going to need time to think it through, but I believe it may actually help usThis may truly be a gift not a curse
"How? Are you genuinely simple?" his mother snapped"They are singing the Tyrant's name in the streets of Avalle!"
Devin winced at the old name, the desperate pain at the heart of that cry, but he forced himself to keep movingA terrifying certainty was rising within him
"I hear you, I understandBut don't you see?" Alessan dropped to his knees on the carpet again, close to his mother's chair"The Ygrathen army is going homeIf he has to fight a war it will have to be with an army of our people and what few Ygrathens stay with

"He will do nothing," Pasithea said flatly"Alberico is a timorous man spun neck-deep in his own webs, all of which lead back to the Emperor's TiaraAt least a quarter of the Ygrathen army will stay with BrandinAnd those people singing are the most oppressed people in the peninsulaIf they are joyous, what do you think is happening elsewhere? Do you not imagine an army can be raised in Chiara and Corte and Asoli to fight against Barbadior for a man who has renounced his own Kingdom for this peninsula?" She began coughing again, her body rocking even more harshly than before
Devin didn't know the answerHe couldn't even begin to guessHe knew that the balance had completely shifted, the balance Alessan had spoken about and played with for so
