In this week of Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Fitz is handed the responsibility for a new Queen's Guard and with the mounting frustration of so many relationships pulling him in different directions, it's only a matter of time before he snaps. Pining after Molly and stressing over cheering Kettricken up, he is beset upon by the Fool. We learn the future and get some foreshadowing in a ballad, leaving Fitz embarrassed and frustrated, of course. Zen Kettricken somewhat calms FitzChivalry down until he learns she can use the Wit and others might be able to discover his secret.
