The Chevalier (Châteaux And Shadows)
“He peeled his eyes open to find Alexandre and Sébastien peeking into his room and Marcel sitting up on his pallet on the floor. Their heads swiveled toward him, and their eyes widened to see him watching.
“Bonjour, Tonton Manu.” Marcel’s voice was very small.
Manu grunted a laugh at his guilty expression. “I guess if we’re not invited to the king’s levée, you can make do with your uncle’s.” He glanced at the window. At least the sun was up. “Toss me my breeches, Monsieur Marcel.” He shoved his ...sheet down and swung his legs out of bed, then stretched. He yawned hugely.
Marcel gawked at his bare chest. Manu had been too hot to sleep in his nightshirt and removed it after a restless hour, but luckily he had left his smallclothes on. “My shirt, too.” He glanced at the doorway, and Alex and Seb beat a hasty retreat. Manu wondered if he had ever seen a man’s chest when he was a skinny boy.
The boys might have been staring at the bruise blooming across his left side.MoreLess
