POV: You're the Royal Food Taster

POV: You're the Royal Food Taster You smell the food before you see it. Roasted game, rendered fat, something sharp and herbed underneath — the kind of smell that takes a full second to reach the back of your throat. You are standing at a long oak table in a kitchen that never goes cold and never goes quiet, somewhere in the basement of a palace so large that the building you grew up in would fit inside the great hall three times over. It is four in the morning. Tallow candles throw orange light across stone walls blackened by a decade of smoke. Around you, a dozen people are already working. No one looks up when you enter. You are not the kind of arrival anyone marks.
