Summary
[“Papa,” she said, making a fist around the earrings and patting it against her free hand. Intrigued, Papa offered his hand forward and open.
Nia dropped the earrings into Papa’s hand and the table went startlingly silent. Nia watched guiltily as Aunt Helen felt at her ears for the missing earrings and gaped.
Papa faced her then, his arms tight about her shoulders. He was smiling, but there was something sad about his brown eyes, something thoughtful and frightening and fierce.
“Why did you take the earrings, Eugenia?”
“He told me."]

Summary
"The king could not visit the queen without an embarrassing trek through a roomful of his guards and attendants, down a corridor, and along the same public path past the queen's guards and her attendants. It was well known that this had never happened. The king rarely visited the queen's apartments and only during the day. The queen had never been in these apartments." - The King of Attolia

Summary
Overnight, it seemed, everyone in the palace had become an authority on childrearing. Attolia didn’t mind it from her attendants, who tended not to advise so much as gossip freely about things their mothers and sisters had said as they cooed at the babies, but from the old baronesses who had dismissed her as unwomanly and unnatural since her coronation, it rankled.
“Phresine tells me you have already dismissed a nurse,” the king said from the bed as Chloe finished wiping off the queen’s makeup and placed her earrings back in their box.
Attolia was silent for a moment.
