If he was right and the Duchess was just making a show for the sake of a show, then he had nothing to worry about than slight indignation and rumours attached to Joachim, which was bad enough. Handy was supposed to be there so all the dark and suspicious things were applied to him, not the king. At worst… she was actually insinuating something, which would cause people to start digging, and digging meant they would find something. He found himself stopping to distractedly gaze at the dancing fireflies, each one multi-hued, their colours slowly shifting like fairy lights on a Christmas tree. He knew that whatever they were, they were incomparable to fireflies from home, but he didn't care. Even their distracting beauty couldn't keep him from his worries for long.
