And he just goes "oh no oh fuck okay what do I do um -- I KNOW! ROLEPLAY! PLAYFULLY ACCUSE HER OF MUTINY IN MY QUARTERDECK VOICE SO SHE EATS MOST OF IT."

Babygirl, you are so strange and off-putting. No one is doing it like you.

But congratulations because she did seem to enjoy that.

Like I know Lord Spring (none of the people have names so I'm giving their monikers) made Beron look like a good person and Lord Night wasn't far better but like an actual reason.

One thing I could think of politically is that both Tamlin and Rhys are the strongest high lords, respectively (this is retconned anytime SJM feels like but we're going with it). It stated that in hand to hand Tamlin is winning but with magic Rhys is.

They were both clocked as heirs (even while having siblings and them being older in Tamlin's case) basically from birth.

Now me personally, if I was as paranoid and evil as Lord of Spring and Night, I definitely wouldn't like someone with that much raw power being able to influence my son in any capacity. Like the courts seem to be pretty insular and only come together in times of war and marriage.

Also, sidenote but not really. I know a good portion of them are dead post-Amarantha but I feel like the other High Lords would've hated it too. These heirs who are both showing leagues more powers than their already powerful and frankly crazy fathers are friends now....how did that slide.
