I just knew she was trouble! Very good chapter, it was nice to see the relationship of Bo Han and the King. The one person he can trust. A message left as a message or a warning to draw out a reaction? Love the twists and turns.
Wow.. thought the king would be that evil conniving man.. hes more like his son in regards to his weakness. Their past are holding them both back immensely
Another cool chapter! I'm not sure how to put it exactly, but it's very fascinating to me when you write from the narrator's view, like in this chapter talking about how the king has both the duties of a king and a man. My wife and I are loving the story!
This may be a non-point, but I'm wondering if there is significance to the use of "clay cups" which have been mentioned several times. Láokoth seems like the kind of place that would have porcelain, lacquerware, plate or some refined material for eating and drinking vessels. But the king and prince drink from clay cups. Or am I overthinking?
Just an urn shaped thing, particularly like the urns you often see outdoors used as planters, but iron. Most braziers tend to burn wood or coal and I wanted to leave the possibility that that was not necessarily their purpose.
Something is rotten in the state of Láokoth...

Very interesting chapter. I especially enjoyed the king’s prophetic dream about two princes.
I also loved the big reveal that the king is under the thumb of the palace house.
Thank you!
“…like honey on the edge of a knife…”
What an image.
So now we know where Elvis has been hiding! :-) Hehe. Thanks for the new chapter!

Curious about the word choice of "iron urn." Are you referring to a brazier or something else entirely?

My curiosity has been kindled further and I look forward to perhaps finding what the iron urns were originally used for in a future chapter.
Excellent set up for the next chapter. Old men shouldn't trust those young, pretty ones... never leads to good...
