    Summary

    When Varenechibel IV and his three eldest sons are killed in an airship crash, the eyes of the court turn to the only surviving heir: the nine-year-old Maia Drazhar. Facing down the near-hopeless precedent of child emperors, however, is not something he will have to do alone.

    Please note that, due to the structure of the fic, all tags apply to all chapters.

    Summary

    Maia allowed himself one glance, which gave him a good view of, rather than Ciris’s expensive wallpaper, the determinedly neutral expressions of the emperor, Vedero, and Nazhira. They knew how thou wast living, he realised. They all knew. The emperor had said, we confess we know little of the circumstance, but there was a lot that one could contrive not to know if one was willing to put the effort in.
    “Thou’rt a Drazhadeise Archduke now,” Ciris said, with every appearance of a man sharing some sort of generous nicety. He clapped him on the shoulder with slightly excessive force, and beamed. “Shouldst try to enjoy it! Eh?”
    There was not, Maia found, a lot that one could say in response to that.

    Summary

    She had let go of everything else; hope of a retrieval, hope of an apology, hope of seeing her sisters or her son again. It would be enough to know. She did not have to do anything with the knowledge. Ulis would understand. Surely he would.
    "To the best of your knowledge, Othala— is the Archduke Maia alive and safe?”
    Thara Celehar stared at her for a very long moment, his grip on her trembling fingers very firm. Then he said;
    “Sister— he is.”
    ---
    In a Thu-Tetar nunnery, the Dach'othalo asks a Sister of Ulis: Did you enter this place as Chenelo Drazharan?

    Summary

    “So,” he said, “You are to be our grandson’s wife.”
    “An it pleases His Serenity and our father,” said Csethiro Ceredin. Her voice was deeper than he had expected, and she seemed to have to work to keep it from carrying.
    “And how does it please Csethiro Ceredin, pray?” said Maru. 
    “As well as it pleases any lady chosen to be Zhasan, we have no doubt,” said Csethiro coolly. 
    Saying that to Chenelo Sevraseched’s father was either stupid or deliberately brassy, and Maru had already ruled out the likelihood of her being stupid.
