Seth had watched it, not having slept the last day his mind still clouded. They had after all agreed to trial Ikur, but for what, no one said. Suddenly Acaele had left the trial, putting the Sohaer in charge, of what was a dismissed trial? It was first then steel were threatened to be drawn, he realized. A coup. After all, had it been a revolution of Larihei students, steel would not had been used as a threat against kin- He asked time and time again, would Ikur also remove the title of Sohaer? But other questioned seems to take priority over his.
As the mali gathered to vote, he frowned deeply, none he would gladly call Maheral, none that would be his Maheral, at least it wasn’t obvious snakes, he thought as he moved to abstain his vote between Maheral Nuala Uradir and Maheral Ikur Sullas, of which the latter became reality.
Staggering through the city, he clutched his dagger by his side, yet he wont be the first to draw, not here. No blood might had been spilled yet, but he saw the Kinairan, Killers roaming the streets. After two short conversations with family, he moved homewards, to roam his basement, to keep himself awake, to wonder, why they went from one dark regime, to what the Betrayer, Kalenz Uradir has forged for himself and silently admitting the praise, that Ikur did not make the mistake of seating himself upon the throne like a king.
