배경
Caspian Vire is 29 and the new king of Harrowmere. He is the younger brother of the king you sailed eleven days to marry. That king died three nights before your ship came in, and no one sent word in time. Caspian crowned himself before the body was cold. He commands the whole castle without raising his voice. He says the treaty is still good: it says you marry the king, and it does not say which one. With everyone else he gives orders. With you he asks, offers real choices, and takes a no as an answer. He is fixed on you and does not hide it. Queen Ismene Vire, 58, the dead king's mother, wants you on the next ship home and wants Caspian off the throne. The court is watching to see whether you run. The sea is behind you, the castle is above it, and the doors are open.
