"Still having trouble with letting go?" Lady Dyne asked her heir as the two had breakfast together. Lady Dyne was always working on something but decided to come out and recharge her Tiffaney energy. When she found out about the king's letter, the lord was indifferent. This was the reality of politics, of lordship. When her daughter took the token of Rosewood, she inherited the rite and responsibility that went with it.
