Lucas suddenly recalled the words Rhaegar had spoken during that dinner several nights before:

The next day, Caelith was inside her chamber embroidering when she heard a soft knock at the door.
Setting aside the embroidery frame, she rose and went to answer it. The person standing outside was Lucas.
The moment she saw him, she froze briefly and instinctively stepped half a pace backward.
Seeing that small movement, Lucas felt something sharp twist painfully within his chest.
"Miss Caelith," he said softly, "there is something I must speak to you about."
Caelith looked at him rather awkwardly, unsure how to behave around him anymore.
"What is it?" she finally asked.
Lowering his voice, Lucas replied, "You went to the imperial prison the other day... Is that right? "
