.......The duke’s voice suited his countenance. His deep
set, piercing blue eyes and thin, unsmiling lips conveyed the
same authority as the somber tone of his greeting.....
.......As the duke sat down, Signore Arrighi arranged the drawings
before him. Signore Arrighi followed the duke’s gaze as
he studied the drawings. Once again the armorer felt himself
captivated by the duke’s eyes. The left one, made of glass,
and the other good eye looked out from a dark cavity that stretched
unbroken across the duke’s face. Unlike most men, the duke
had no bridge between his eyes. Most of his subjects assumed
it was the result of a wound received in battle. But for a few
men, like the master armorer, who knew the true story, it was
stark proof of the duke’s ruthless determination. |
