Onyx City (The Lazarus Longman Chronicles Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The bodies and blood have been cleared and the gates are under repair. There is to be a great celebration tonight in honour of the loyalist victory and of those who died to achieve it. I was shown to my new quarters this afternoon and it is here that I write as dusk touches the rooftops of the city below me. I will not have time to write more this evening. I am to be honoured as well in the celebrations tonight, and my Siamese regalia is laid out on the bed ready for me to put on. The king himself granted me this estate in the city as his thanks for my help in defending his throne. It is a large place with several rooms already filled with furniture of fine craftsmanship. The house looks out over the thatched roofs of the bamboo huts below, framed by the peaks of the mountains. I have servants too; men and women I have not the slightest idea what to do with, especially as we do not understand each other. Further gifts from the king have made me a man rich beyond my dreams; clothes of fine silk, chests of rubies and gold and enameled charms studded with diamonds, gilded statues of Hindoo gods, gold plate and other treasures.
