The thought of a life in Satele's court is exhausting. Though some people, like Lord Marinacci, seem to thrive in those kind of environments. I wonder if all of Lord Marinacci's business endeavors are legitimate...
Thank you for your incisive commentary! Any writer worth his salt values such feedback, especially on how his words landed on the reader's mind. Much appreciated!
As for the "historical beef," if nothing else, it demonstrates that the Santinettas and the Marinaccis fall on opposite sides, both politically and morally, and have done so for a couple of centuries. So, yes, it foreshadows future conflict, with Grania caught between them.

No, you can bet they are not all legitimate. Once a smuggler, always a smuggler . . .
Oh that last line. Just so good!
Too much ooze was coming off Lord Marinacci. "Unctuous" comes to mind.
Oh, absolutely. Unctuous is a fantastic word here!
Keeping track of all the machinations and schemes between the different houses is exhausting!
Thus, the bags under my eyes and the nodding off after dinner. 😜
