"Katie, what exactly is your plan for getting the majority away from Sigmund's side?" Franz asked as he set down his teacup.
He and Mariela both looked at me expectantly. This was the tricky part.
The idea had come from Marcy in the original novel. How would I explain how I came up with it if he asked?
Annalaias had one court and it was made up of nobles only. The lowest ranking people in it were baronets.

They could complain to the stewards of the estates belonging to the nearest nobility but that was it. The people hated it but were too overworked to riot.
