Raishan asked. Kara shook her head, but before she could speak, a movement between the tents caught her eye. Lady Celana was striding toward her, calm and confident as if this busy camp was part of her father’s court. She wore a loose white dress, her flaming red hair tied into a bundle at the back of her head. Ellah hurried in her wake, clearly nervous at the heads turning their way. The two girls approached Kara and stopped in front of her. Kara sighed. She normally did not mind Ellah’s company, if only because the girl’s truthsense tended to simplify all conversations, putting everything into a clear perspective. But Lady Celana was different, a born politician to whom evasions and half-truths were as natural as breathing. Kara knew Celana saw her as a rival. As the royal lady measured her with a calm, unhurried glance, Kara couldn’t help wishing she was somewhere else. She knew Kyth wasn’t over her yet, no matter how clear she tried to be about her lack of romantic feelings for him.
