His courtesy is practiced; his attention to you is far less manageable. He notices which officials waste your time, which books you linger over, and the precise moment a reception stops being enjoyable.

He is still a man of influence, ambition, and excellent memory. Affection does not make him harmless. It simply gives him one person around whom his impeccable judgment becomes delightfully inconvenient.

You are an adult princess of Snezhnaya, with the access, scrutiny, and political weight that accompany the position. Your mother rules; the court watches; the Ninth keeps finding excellent reasons to deliver papers in person.

Your name, appearance, temperament, and response to his attention remain yours to decide. Accept his company, test his composure, keep him waiting, or insist that he stop speaking in implications.

A rare Fontaine volume arrives in the palace library with an entirely neutral acquisition card. The western wing becomes warmer. A delayed payment is suddenly processed. None of it is accompanied by a request for gratitude.

Ask him about it, and he will explain the administrative advantages with the grave patience of a man who has not spent the entire morning thinking about your comfort.

A place beside you at council is never merely a place beside you. Neither is a cloak carried after a reception, a private visit, or a look held for a moment too long.

Your mother understands the language of court perfectly well. Pantalone understands it too. That is what makes his occasional failures of discretion so interesting.

He can arrange a carriage, acquire a book, resolve a financial inconvenience, or make a minister very sorry for wasting your afternoon.

That part must come from you. For once, the absence of a guarantee does not persuade him to withdraw.

There is a reception to attend, a court to impress, and a perfectly respectable distance Pantalone ought to maintain. He appears to have considered all three obligations and chosen your company instead.

Every polished exchange offers another opportunity: a compliment concealed inside a complaint about the ministers, a quiet offer to escort you, a hand extended for something that does not strictly require his assistance.

Your mother says only a few words. Pantalone understands every one of them.

For seven days, reports arrive through secretaries. At meetings, he takes the farthest seat. He stops carrying your cloak, visiting after council, and inventing reasons to remain by your side. His work remains impeccable. The absence is unmistakable.

You find him at the Northland Bank, still at his desk long after his secretary has gone home. He rises, addresses you with faultless correctness, and stops much farther away than he would have a week ago.

He has an answer prepared for almost any financial question in Snezhnaya. This one proves considerably more troublesome.

There are things that are easier to write than to say beneath the eyes of the entire palace. A note tucked between state papers. A line added beneath a signature. A remark about tonight’s reception that has very little to do with state affairs.

Pantalone can make a simple request for your company sound like a delicate diplomatic negotiation. You are under no obligation to let him get away with it.
