I see you. I hope you read these. Scholar, do me a favor, and make sure that this next part is very large.

I'm coming.

I have kept my oath. I have held the bones of the corrupted over the sacred flames of Lagoma.

May the Queen of Endings grant them redemption through the Wheel.

I will pretend I didn't hear such scandalous admissions from my co-Duchess Dafne Zaffria.

We all know Quartz Hill is far superior in beauty!

Well drat. Breaking hearts and ambitions in one fell swoop are we?

Relationship Note on Esoka

If you marry me you can be the co-ruler of my apartment, shop and collection of religious texts.

No one wishing to marry me better expect to become an acting commander of anything. Or Godsworn.

Wait, scholar, that's not how it works?
Well that's a relief.

Today I have learnt there is no precedent for a domain being ruled by two rulers of equal rank.

How very odd. I was under the impression I was part of a co-rulership of two ducal families that goes back generations. Certainly one would think Lycenes, at least, would know this. I admit it distresses me to find such a lack of awareness.

Are we too quiet of late? Should I run an advertising campaign? Pen a (scandalous, certainly) play about the face-off that founded Gemecitta? Hire a bard to sing our history? Invite my fellow nobles to vacation in beautiful Gemecitta and alternate between the Quartz Hill of the Rubinos and the Crowned Hill of the Zaffrias?

(I always thought the Crowned Hill the prettier. Sssh, don't tell Duchess Grazia.)

In the case that this becomes a trend, let me be clear that House Grayson will not be following this new example set by House Kennex. To any who seek my hand in marriage: you shall never be of equal rank to me. It must be stated, so that none go seeking a marriage here with that as a desired outcome.

How delightful to see that the disaster of shared rulership is traveling from the south over to the Mourning Isles.

One must wonder if the Marquis Kennex had encouragement in his recent disastrous proclamations. It would be so terribly unfortunate if his Marquessa were to survive him and mournfully wed another man to populate Stormward March with a cadet branch of Pravuses.

This particular vodka you speak of certainly piques my curiosity. I suppose I would not be the Lycene woman I am if I were not attracted to such dangerous things.

On Titles:

Forgive me for the seeming pettiness in this shared information. Vellichor will want it for sometimes pettiness is in all of our thoughts. For my vanity and pride I will seek guidance from my True Lord and grow from both. That said...

House Kennex has two voices:
-Titania, who has a good, generous heart but a sharp mind that one ought not overlook in appreciation of those first listed qualities.
-Octavia, who is more educated in law and more experienced in the same that she is a force all ought to recon with, and it is through that education and experience that she provides great services to House Kennex.

Both are Voices. Both are entitled to speak for House Kennex without ever being questioned, as if the words coming from their mouths were spoken from Ford's own.

House Kennex also has two leaders of equal rank. This is rare, so rarely done that I've seen and read no precident of it, but it was what my husband wanted from me and promised to me when we discussed our marriage contract. I am not always perfect, I know I have let him down and am so grateful for his sister and his cousin for being there as well, with much more practice in the politics of Thrax than I.

That said...two leaders of equal rank:
Marquis Ford Kennex
Marquessa Vanora Kennex

I am still learning and would never outstep the bounds of my knowledge without consulting these learned members of the family, my husband, his sister, our cousin...they have so very much to teach me and I do not have the hubris to fill the role my husband has granted me until I understand so much more so much better.

That said...I do not speak with Ford's voice but with my own. The Voices of Kennex speak with my voice just as they do for my husband.

Kennex Voices serve as the voices, decision makers, and representatives of not one but two. Of not just the Marquis Kennex but the Marquessa.

A small detail, worth nothing but protocol, though I know many whom pride themselves on such. Thus the small detail might still be of value.

For as long as I have been trusted with this position, this power, this role in my family, I will devote myself utterly. I will be worthy of that gift.

It wasn't exactly a secret that Lady Kima and myself were very close for years. And now she's dead.

Any information leading to my apprehension of the party responsible will be rewarded with the same level of nearly-perverse overpayment that I handle everything else with.

As to the rest, well. I haven't had a good hunt in a while, nor the chance to -really- savor the kill when I get to that. Run and hide - at least make this part fun for us both, eh?

There is that particular vodka... Though I cannot advise anyone, no matter their constitution, to drink it. Last man who tried to down the whole thing almost died.
