Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Seraphel is greeted by Duke Fiskren and Marquis Seelthru of Havens. While Fiskren is friendly and polite to the [Princess], Seelthru is more blatant and aggressive. The two are against the crown giving gold to the Hunter’s Guild for their indulgences and Hunter’s Cards. Seelthru is in favor of the Landsreight taking back the gold, while Fiskren prefers to fund local Hunter’s Guilds and the army. Seraphel is taken slightly aback by how both men are airing their grievances within earshot of the throne, even moreso when another [Lady], Rizetine of Sovetn, steps up and outright insults her for marrying Lord Fallien, which she believes to be Calanfer’s way of interfering with the Twins’ succession to Earl of Ovela. Seraphel tries retreating from Rizetine’s diatribe, but accidentally backs into Princess Kadane. She is flabbergasted that the [Princess] of Noelictus has a pair of spider mandibles jutting from her cheeks. Calling Rizetine a “bitch,” Kadane throws her drink on the [Lady] and threatens to do the same to Seraphel, who was staring at her spider parts. Instead of being politely lying, Seraphel takes a gamble and reverts to her usual snappish self. Rather than be insulted, Kadane is pleased, claiming that she had wanted to see the “legendary Seraphel.” Realizing that the custom in Noelictus was to be direct and pithy, the two [Princesses] trade banter, with Seraphel finally feeling like in her element.
