Silk robes for a captive? Harad must net a fortune.

Surely his absence at the Coronation would alert Aragorn. The Citadel would be searched for Gondor’s Steward, these renegades hanged.

“Move.” Soft bonds mocked his struggles for freedom. He stumbled into the light… a million candles glowing amidst the murmuring crowd.

He quaked: Aragorn waited at the poles, eyes hungry; Faramir athirst beside him, wearing the Steward’s ring. They watched traitors tie Boromir’s shaking hands high, slice the robe from him. The buzz silenced.

Aragorn’s fingers were coarse against his cheek; his lips silk.

“You should have listened to Denethor.”
