CMU Chapter 49
Chapter Forty-Nine: People Who Were edit
In Aprelêu, Poleen Juvukis, as Kontzulê Polênu Juvilêus, meticulously studies the Rainbow and Swan’s layout, preparing for her gala to bait enemies with the donu-honêsh cache. She memorizes the courtyard’s design and noble seating, wary of assassins, while managing her fears, from public exposure to supernatural threats. Rostlilê’s romantic overtures are rebuffed, though Poleen softens the rejection, affirming her affection. Âvorê, named her Juvilêus Guard by Kontzûl Emerotô, bolsters her security. Hovêen tû Sedlômu reveals Humeric tû Yulêz’s name as a 500-year-old Compunêun, suggesting he taunts the Compunêu Trade Consortium, possibly linked to Ezeldu’s death over donu and indilus secrets. Gibelê dû Nindi-vilu, claiming Poleen resembles his lost charge, Poleen Juvukis, confronts her, suspecting she’s alive. Poleen denies her identity, maintaining her contessa facade, and dismisses him, torn by pity but distrustful. She resolves to make the gala unforgettable, advancing her vengeance against Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ and Berjer Fendênus, leveraging the donu to expose the Compunêu or Notoholis, securing Nicôdî tû Dêidontâ’s Written Jewels and Notoholis access, and aligning with her father’s yostul ambitions.
