    Summary

    It became, he realised quickly, pervasive. All the tiny things which had not been prepared when the Wisdom of Choharo had crashed had now finally trundled through the pipeline, almost a year on. The new coins fully entered circulation, which was protocol. Papers and documents were properly headed with the new imperial seal, which was protocol; Varenechibel's portrait in Beltanthiar IV’s atrium, the formal centrepoint of court, was replaced with Edrehasivar’s, which was protocol. It did not take Setheris a long look to know it was a petulantly good likeness, devoid of all the tiny vanities his predecessors had snuck in; although Setheris was convinced it was painted so the pallid eyes followed you.

    Summary

    Your father’s variety of betrayal once seemed to you rather romantic. To break from the constraints of an arranged Chandrilan marriage, to conceive a child for love alone - such a wonderful story that brought you into existence, wasn't it? Surely one worth at least some of the weight you’d had to drag around of its consequences. It was only in later years that you came to see the tarnished and tawdry reality of it all, the disappointment that your father really was.

    It’s not, of course, that you fear you carry some taint of his betrayal with you as if such things can be inherited. Nobody believes that - certainly not on civilised Chandrila. Perhaps you are simply more attuned to your own weakness. Perhaps, through the result of your own heritage, you have been given a conveniently sharp reminder to dig into you like your nails into the meat of your palm: don’t romanticise this. Don’t be stupid. There are no grand love stories here - you’re a starstruck boy with a crush. You’re thankful she was kind to you, that’s all of it. You respect her. It will pass.
