Summary
He hated it.
He hated her.
What woman does not stand behind her son?!
Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!
Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!
They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.
And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.
