to any child in this palace.”

“I

“Even so.” I was grateful for his help, no matter the reason he gave it. “Thank you.”

The doctor glanced between us. “If you will excuse me, I will personally take Elva’s prescription to the

“I

“Thank you,” I said, as Nicholas said, “That would be best.“.

When the doctor left the room, Nicholas kicked off the bookcase and came closer. He peered down at

“It’s okay,” Nicholas said, stopping me. “Nick–lass is fine.”

Elva smiled. She reached her arms out to him. “Up, please.”

Nicholas leaned down. Elva wrapped her arms around his neck. Holding her close, he lifted her from
