place shortly after My Strategy.
Sound Strategy “There was a time such matters would be handled by a political marriage.” Milliardo arched an eyebrow and glanced at the old man by the window. Chang had gone to attend an appointment, leaving the King and Pagan in the sitting room. “Suggesting a return to the Dark Ages, Pagan? I marry my sister off to the head of another house, an astute political move to garner some advantage for Sanc? Such methods were as much harmful as helpful” Pagan smiled, watching the snow fall. “I merely commented such alliances were commonplace and an accepted form of saving old bloodlines. It was sound strategy to ally one’s country with a strong bloodline. It was considered sound breeding practises.” “I am sure Relena would be thrilled.” “In these modern times the old ways are considered archaic and of no value. One should not necessarily discard the old.” Milliardo rested his head against the high back of the chair. “Say what you mean.” “The Chang and Long clans are ancient. It would be a tragedy to see the line fade from history on so poor a note. It is much like Sanc in many ways; you are making acceptable progress in merging old with new. Sanc’s population is low due to the purge at the invasion. The acquisition of a few thousand members of so ancient a bloodline, many of whom are trained in certain skills of benefit to the overall scheme of things, would be of indisputable benefit to Sanc.” “I am sure Chang and I can come to an arrangement without him marrying Relena. Heero would commit murder and I would not be surprised if Relena assisted him.” “Quite, Sir. The Princess has her heart set on Mr. Yuy.” Milliardo glared at the old man’s broad back. He had a nasty suspicion where this conversation was leading. “I am not inclined to get married at this time, Pagan. In fact, never suits me.” “I understand, Sir. There would be difficulty finding a suitably blooded female to offer to Sanc and not be construed an insult to the Peacecraft lineage.” “Pagan.” the warning growl was low and deep. Unseen eyes glittered with amusement. “I believe there is only the one individual with sufficient bloodlines to be considered a compliment to Sanc.” “Pagan.” Threat was evident in the deep rumble. “Enlightened times are more understanding of same sex marriages.” “Pagan!” “Ah, I do believe I am required elsewhere, Sir.” Pagan offered a formal bow, both an acknowledgement of rank and an apology for ignoring the demand he silence himself. He was well aware of the King’s bisexual inclinations and personally had no problem with it. Regrettably Sanc would become a laughing stock amid the ESUN should the match ever become a reality but sometimes Milliardo needed a good shake up. “Bloody meddling old man!” Zechs glowered at the fire. “I should propose to Chang and shove it up Pagan and Parliament’s arse.” If only he dared.
