Darius frowned when he heard Lord Spencely's revelation. "The Crown Princess is summoning me? For an audit? Does she have the power to do that?"
The City Lord of Listo sat back in his seat and stroked his beard. "Hard to say.

Nicholas removed his monocle, wiped it, and gazed at it quietly. "Nevertheless, it would be unwise to ignore the Crown Princess, unless you have very good reasons. As a new member of the Equality Faction, she should know better than to try and harm your interests."
