A Gift of Peril Lila Rhodes

Albin Hayward is now a messenger for Lord Scales. Albin is often in that lord's company. He can not only start messages on their way quickly, he can be Lord Scales's second observer in the complex world of the royal court. The scene becomes a bit confusing one morning before Easter. In her sitting room, the queen's ladies surround Lord Scales, and two of them attached something around his leg. Seeing Lord Scales's joyful reaction, Albin was eager to see what it was, and especially what it meant.
