Maxwell’s Logic Some days he was convinced there was a never ending succession of minor explosions detonating in Duo Maxwell’s brain. On occasion these explosions went off with the ferocity of a fireworks display at New Year’s and one had to struggle to see all of the fantasy of colour and design. Maxwell’s logic defied his understanding at the best of times and now… he simply could not follow the man. “I don’t… What are you talking about?” “The lady, of course. Big portrait, heavy gold frame stored in one of the back rooms. Pretty Chinese Princess packed off as part of a Trade treaty with a bunch of Northern Barbarians. At least I think it was a Trade Treaty. The notes scrawled on the back of the portrait are a bit scanty, but investigation should reveal how she became Crown Princess of Sanc.” “There was a Chinese Princess of Sanc?” Why did he feel as though he was in a waking nightmare? “Yep. I was poking around because I was bored to tears and had nothing better to do, but don’t tell anyone that or they will find me something to do. I like looking through old stuff. Much of it probably hasn’t been touched since it was rescued from the ruins of the old palace; lots of smoke and fire damage. When things settle down and there is more money in the treasury Zechs really should have it restored.” Wu Fei stared into his tea, trying to ground himself in the reality of the brown liquid. He felt as though the world was unreal, a nightmare of confusing impressions and sounds. Much like that fantasy fireworks display he equated to Duo’s version of logic. Drawing a deep breath he decided he must set this conversation to rights and bring them back to reality, harsh though that reality was. “Perhaps there was a Princess of Sanc who originated from China, but that has nothing to do with us. Though I am certain it has not escaped your attention, both Milliardo and I are male. We cannot have children together, so regardless of any possibly mutual ancestors, there will be no blood link to Sanc for the Clan. Not through a mixing of his blood and mine.” “Wu Fei, you perpetually live in the feudal era! Yo dude, what millennium is this, hmmm? Yes, you are both men, to be honest I wouldn’t be interested in you if you were ladies, nice as they can be. I’m strictly a man’s man, believe me. The mechanics of sex are not what they used to be and limitations are not really limitations any more.” He knew it would hurt if he banged his head against the table in frustration but honestly, Maxwell so confused him and surely the pain would be a welcome relief from the stress headache he was developing. //Ancestors! Is this my punishment for not being a dutiful son of the Clan?// End
