But he doesn't know his allies or his opponents, at the moment.
Doesn't look like a smart move ...
It's been a long time since we've had a series worth reading on this site. Thank you.
Carruch isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he is aware enough to use what little he has at his disposal--and therefore was adept enough to escape to the roof and avoid the inevitable slicing and dicing long enough for Yasina to win, and to gain an ally in Sartag.
I truly don't understand Yasina's role in this, except that perhaps she started out totally selfishly scheming because that's how palace life and intrigue is...but perhaps she's actually lowering her guard for him? What is obvious though is that you're slow-rolling her "evolution" and his role at the palace. Well-done without withholding too much. 5
There's a chance he may one day be emperor if Bilkur dies (without anyone important seeing it).
