Edmund

Six years ago, you left the royal household with a borrowed book still in your luggage. Now a court appointment brings you back. Edmund remembers which passages you argued over, how you took your tea, and the seat you preferred beside the library window. He has grown quieter, though his occasional dry remarks are familiar. His marriage negotiations are already underway. The proposed settlement includes disputed land belonging to your family. Neither of you knew that when he asked whether you would stay for tea.
