Since he married the young Chelaxian noblewoman Ileosa, and made her his sole concubine, she has become the focus for much of the citizens' ire over high taxes and poor conditions. Many consider her a spoilt brat with more time for fashion and parties than for Korvosa, and she has on occasion been rumoured to consider Korvosa something of a dirty backwater.How much of this is *really* true, of course, is unknown outside of the royal court. However, since Korvosa tends to play strictly by the rules most of the time, it likes a good riot to let off steam once in a while.[/sblock]</blockquote>
