“
I
should
not
have
asked
,
”
he
said
.
“
No
.
”
She
shrugged
.
“
There
’
s
good
political
reason
—
as
long
as
my
Duke
remains
unmarried
some
of
the
Great
Houses
can
still
hope
for
alliance
.
And
.
.
.
.
”
She
sighed
.
“
.
.
.
motivating
people
,
forcing
them
to
your
will
,
gives
you
a
cynical
attitude
toward
humanity
.
It
degrades
everything
it
touches
.
If
I
made
him
do
.
.
.
this
,
then
it
would
not
be
his
doing

“
It
’
s
a
thing
my
Wanna
might
have
said
,
”
he
murmured
.
And
this
,
too
,
was
truth
.
He
put
a
hand
to
his
mouth
,
swallowing
convulsively
.
He
had
never
been
closer
to
speaking
out
,
confessing
his
secret
role
.
Jessica
spoke
,
shattering
the
moment
.
“
Besides
,
Wellington
,
the
Duke
is
really
two
men
.
One
of
them
I
love
very
much
.
He
’
s
charming
,
witty
,
considerate
.
.
.
tender
—
everything
a
woman
could
desire
.
But
the
other
man
is
.
.
.
cold
,
callous
,
demanding
,
selfish
—
as
harsh
and
cruel
as
a
winter
wind
.
That
’
s
the
man
shaped
by
the
father
.
”
Her
face
contorted
.
“
If
only
that
old
man
had
died
when
my
Duke
was
born
!
”
In
the
silence
that
came
between
them
,
a
breeze
from
a
ventilator
could
be
heard
fingering
the
blinds
.

Presently
,
she
took
a
deep
breath
,
said
,
“
Leto
’
s
right
—
these
rooms
are
nicer
than
the
ones
in
the
other
sections
of
the
house
.
”
She
turned
,
sweeping
the
room
with
her
gaze
.
“
If
you
’
ll
excuse
me
,
Wellington
,
I
want
another
look
through
this
wing
before
I
assign
quarters
.
”
He
nodded
.
“
Of
course
.
”
And
he
thought
:
If
only
there
were
some
way
not
to
do
this
thing
that
I
must
do
.
Jessica
dropped
her
arms
,
crossed
to
the
hall
door
and
stood
there
a
moment
,
hesitating
,
then
let
herself
out
.
All
the
time
we
talked
he
was
hiding
something
,
holding
something
back
,
she
thought
.
To
save
my
feelings
,
no
doubt
.
He
’
s
a
good
man
.
Again
,
she
hesitated
,
almost
turned
back
to
confront
Yueh
and
drag
the
hidden
thing
from
him
.
But
that
would
only
shame
him
,
frighten
him
to
learn
he
’
s
so
easily
read
.
I
should
place
more
trust
in
my
friends
.
