"Rasa sakit itu tak terduga seperti guntur di langit yang cerah. Dada Eddis menegang, saat sesuatu menutup di hatinya. Napas dalam-dalam mungkin menenangkannya, tetapi dia tidak bisa menariknya. Dia bertanya-tanya apakah dia sakit, dan dia bahkan berpikir sebentar bahwa dia mungkin telah diracuni. Dia merasa Attolia meraih dan mengambil tangannya. Bagi pengadilan itu tidak biasa, hampir tidak diperhatikan, tetapi bagi Eddis itu adalah sebuah jangkar, dan dia berpegangan padanya seolah-olah menjadi penyelamat. Sounis menatapnya dengan prihatin. Senyumnya yang menanggapi adalah buatan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The pain was as unexpected as a thunderclap in a clear sky. Eddis's chest tightened, as something closed around her heart. A deep breath might have calmed her, but she couldn't draw one. She wondered if she was ill, and she even thought briefly that she might have been poisoned. She felt Attolia reach out and take her hand. To the court it was unexceptional, hardly noticed, but to Eddis it was an anchor, and she held on to it as if to a lifeline. Sounis was looking at her with concern. Her responding smile was artificial.
