All those years with my nose buried in history books, learning the geneology of kings, the root of power, the right of politics--wasted.&nbsp; Years of drudging my and my elder brothers' livery from Arms Master Holden's quarters to the training field out back the manse--lost.&nbsp; Riding horseback all hours of the day 'til my womanly flower became so shriveled and useless, my thighs stripped of softness, my hips re-fashioned for fighting rather than child bearing--all for naught.&nbsp; I might as well have stayed to play at sewing with mother, rather than waste those years chasing the pursuits of men.When H'Emerte's boy lover came to beg safe passage from the city for himself and my uncle, I let them through the gate I commanded, despite orders otherwise.&nbsp; Even having to bear H'Emerte's stain of dishonor upon the family, I might have kept my standing in the Order had I turned my uncle from the gate and arrested him for the treason with which the Magistrates had already charged him.&nbsp; Looking at my uncle in the eyes, however, I knew there was no hope to be scrapped for House Valanthe--we'd been sold to dishonor long ago by our own craven desires and weakness.Truth be told, H'Emerte's disgrace saved me.&nbsp; No longer a knight of Westcrown, yet still a Wiscrani in the finest fashion--a derelect, drunk on new wine and self-loathing--I was freed to wallow in my own humanity.&nbsp; You don't know the truth of your soul 'til you've lost everything and had to scrabble to reform both self and home.&nbsp; Day to day, I cast my luck and life where I will.Curse H'Emerte.&nbsp; Curse Valanthe.&nbsp; Curse Westcrown.&nbsp; I'll find my own way now.&nbsp; Yes, Janivan's offer to regain my honor, my knighthood, the grace and good will of my family appeals, but so does coin to clink in my pocket and food on my plate.&nbsp; One battle at a time, as they say.&nbsp; Today's battle is the meeting at Vizio's, at 4 pm...here's hoping Janivan's not stingy with the ale, for I'm thirsty.

The stain of H'Emerte's association cost Valanthe, me likely least. I lost my knighthood.

Curse Westcrown. I'll find my own way now. Yes, Janivan's offer to regain my honor, my knighthood, the grace and good will of my family appeals, but so does coin to clink in my pocket and food on my plate. One battle at a time, as they say.
