Ep. 054 - Ch. 26 Royal Assassin - Skilling
Warning: Brief discussion of miscarriage in the latter half of the episode (mostly after 1:30:00). Burrich and Fitz head up to King Shrewd’s room to contact Verity. The Fool tries to persuade them against it in the face of Kettricken’s growing hope. Even with Verity being contacted, there is no proof to show the kingdom and only a weakened King. Fitz experiences the bleak aftermath of some drugs and talks with Burrich and Chade about the future. Stopping by Patience and Lacey, Fitz learns about a fall on the stairs and goes to investigate. We're reading Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, book 2 of the Farseer Trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings.
