HOWEVER VENOMOUS THE SNAKE IS, it still can be eliminated; crushed under a boot, even squashed by a delicate shoe ---- provided, the shoe belongs to the empress jessamine kaldwin, first of her name, the phoenix of gristol, etcetera, etcetera. she doesn’t like those titles; they do not reflect the struggle, physical, mental and yes --- moral, she has to face each and every day to hold the empire in her hands.
‘ high overseer ----- welcome, ’ her voice is steely, just as melodic as it used to be, but cold, sharp ---- razor-like. ‘ i trust, the fugue feast night hasn’t brought you too much trouble. ’ he himself has had a good time, though, as far as she knows. ‘ now that we are finally entering the new year, i’d like to hear of the abbey’s plans. can you enlighten me, teague? ’
