SE2 – His Good Graces

“Where we are from, our beloved Royos, it is my grandfather’s name that daunts the nations, even in rumor.”

“You’ve proven that time and again,” Michon agreed.

“If this prince truly desires me and if he can win me,” she said, a twinkle of rebellion in her eyes, “my grandfather will be in his corner. But, if this prince thinks he can manipulate the Prince of Surlakeen with deceitful pecks across the cheeks of his granddaughters, he will crash neck-first into a Consequence unlike any other. Alas, the death of such men—and make no mistake, there have been many such men here, there, and everywhere between—would be the stuff of proverbs if only the world could remember they even existed.”

“I am getting the distinct impression that I should send your grandfather a ham for the next holy occasion, if not sooner,” Malabranca said. 

Andolond chuckled.

“No need, Lord Malabranca, I would tell you my letters keep you in his good graces, as your character is often the theme of my correspondence, so it wouldn’t be unfair to say you’ve saved yourself—as all you Sablers often do. You are an eyewitness to me, and I am an eyewitness to you: no faults to date.”

“Likewise, Lady Yale,” Malabranca replied, extending his hand.

Tristanué shook the archbishop’s hand. 

“Here we stand friends in a country so stripped of friendship,” he said.

“We will remind them of it,” Tristanué promised.

“Hear, hear,” Ambassador Tantarghaston cheered.
