Hello my cookies!
Tricky page this one. A huge debate on on who should talk and what must be said. It was a real head scratcher to avoid having this page become a text wall for you all to read. Regardless, seems the Queen is going to let this happen. Its legal and she isn’t going to take the heat for this, being neutral on this choice.
What do you think are the demands?
Most likely, one of her demands is that Hos has to remain “neutral” when it comes to Tyne, or that he has to automatically agree with Melizza when it matters in an vote on any given issue.
Another one of her possible demands may be a purebred proxy, or to get an achievement during this trial period. Whatever her demands are, the most significant of them is probably to make cooperation between Hos and Tyne disadvantageous, or so Hos doesn’t become the second Liondress.
Hmmm, the automatically agreeing with Melliza, part probably won’t happen. I mean think about it, if any member of the Circle were to be forced to vote with Melliza, then it would defeat the entire purpose of the Circle, let alone the Law of Tyr. The last thing she wants to do is undermine her own Authority by having the people doubt the Rule of the Law. But, it’s true that she probably wants him on a short leash and not in a position to oppose her, and definitely without Tyne. However, she also can’t cut Tyne out since he’s Hos’s sponsor… She is going to have to get rather creative to limit the power Hos and Tyne have without oppressing her own Rule. A pureblood representative would definitely be one path, someone to keep an eye on Hos and Tyne and report back to Melliza, while also offering Hos support. She may also ask him to work under the supervision of another Circle member who she knows is Loyal to her.
Of course there is a catch
But of course, she wouldn’t be a Tyrannical Despot otherwise, would she?
*Facepaw* Hos, you looked up! That being said, hopefully she isn’t interested in testing him with Behest, seems like Melliza is taking the L on this one and following popular opinion. Congratulations Hos, you worked hard and have been rewarded for it, however, don’t let your guard down, this isn’t over yet. Not with that intimidating Aura there at the end…
Stipulations? I have no clue… Maybe that Hos answers to her? Perhaps a trial to ensure that he can pull off what he says he can? There’s a Myriad of other things, but those are the only things I can think of, off the top of my head.
