Chapter Thirty-One: Warm Words[edit | edit source]

In Mostul Ûbar, Poleen Juvukis, as Kontzulê Polênu Juvilêus, overhears Kontzûl Emerotô and Konlul Nobûn argue over a potential Boborun blockade of Lultûhol, suspecting Nozodrôk Belên’s piracy and the yostul’s death are linked to Boborun leverage for a Kandevor yostul. Emerotô, using undisclosed leverage, aims to avert war diplomatically, dismissing Nobûn and Teverish to confide in Poleen. He reveals her imminent journey to Aprelêu to infiltrate the Notoholis, urging her to study Lultûhol’s politics and trade agreements. Emerotô supports Âvorê’s appeal against his sevidên status, caused by surviving a noble’s assassination, granting him limited Palace access as nosulûm-sevidên. Poleen, balancing her vengeance against Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ and Berjer Fendênus with her father’s yostul ambitions, strolls the Royal Gardens with Âvorê, cherishing a rare moment of peace before her perilous mission north, potentially complicated by a Boborun blockade.
