Kaelbi Grandpire would be recognised as the Sovereign's son, but before that could happen, Viola Grandpire needed to be introduced into the harem first.
Verinia was not worried. There were two different types of concubines in the Sovereign's harem. One was the type that resided in the Hall of Wonders. They were the Sovereign's official women, but they were not married to him. The second were the type that resided in the harem's personal palaces. His consorts.
There were different ranks of consorts, the highest being Benevolent Consort. As it was quite difficult to maintain the Su'Datheram's favour for long enough to become a Benevolent Consort, there were only four of them in the harem.
They were the Su'Datheram's most astounding wives, not only because they were worthy in appearance, but their temperaments and breeding were also exceptional. This was naturally a requirement, because the Sovereign could choose from the rank to select a new Su'Ailfi if she met the requirements.
