The Boy With The Porcelain Blade - Plot & Excerpts
He realised he was most at risk of an impromptu audience when alone in his apartment and lowered his profile to the point of invisibility. Lucien restricted himself to familiar groups and safe locales after the episode at the sanatorio. Anything to steer clear of another confrontation with the gaunt shade of the king’s will. There was the cruel weight of the Domo’s secret to bear and a lack of anyone to tell. Who if any would believe him? The House Contadino kitchens had been his first refuge, the porters and cooks surprised at his reappearance. Camelia was delighted of course, although she took pains to hide it. He’d applied for additional lessons from Maestro di Spada Ruggeri, in part to make amends for missing his testing, but also from a genuine desire to improve. It also placed him within House Fontein, where the Domo rarely appeared. He spent as much time in the library as possible, even helping Archivist Simonetti. Other times he lurked around Professore Virmyre, offering his help as a laboratory assistant.
