"Impressive," Adeline says. "I'm pleased to be leaving the city in capable hands. I have one request for you before I leave."
"Of course," Vivian says, all too eager to get rid of the Archon for good. "Whatever I can do."
"Name Agad the Imperishable your Seneschal."
Vivian blinks with surprise and doesn't respond for several seconds. In fact, the entire room goes silent. Why could she possibly want you to be Seneschal when there are far more qualified candidates? Vivian asks much the same question aloud.
"Let's just say I have a special interest in him. The skill he showed during the Anarch attack the other night was…impressive. A team player, wouldn't you say, Agad the Imperishable?"
She knows what you did. You're not sure how, but she knows. Vivian looks confused, but given her temporary role as steward, naming you her Seneschal would be little more than ceremonial. Unfortunately, it also keeps you high profile. Maybe that's the Archon's true intention.
"You understand that I'll be acting as a steward," Vivian says. "Only until Arundel's return. Such a position hardly requires a formality like a Seneschal. I can certainly elevate Agad the Imperishable's responsibilities, he worked directly with Eden for years and I'm sure that he is capable of assisting me."
"And what of you, Agad the Imperishable? Adeline asks. "How would you feel about ascending to the position of Seneschal?" Why is she pushing so hard for this? Is it some kind of flex, showing her control over the domain's steward?
