Put On Notice //I never expected Pagan to permit me to court Milliardo or to offer assistance with the courtship. His assistance would be to step aside at opportune moments and presumably ensure there are opportunities to extend courtship.// Maxwell inched forward on his chair and Wu Fei was reminded he would not be alone in this courtship. Pagan offered his assistance to both of them. A subtle message there, the man was complex and knew his King better than any other living person. So why did Pagan make this offer not merely to he, but also to Duo? How long had the old man known of his interest in Milliardo? How long had he watched and assessed and evaluated information before making the decision to speak with them? The why was obvious. The disgraceful conduct he and Maxwell had engaged in during a security breach lay behind his decision. They were being put on notice, their conduct could not be ignored. Their actions made this meeting difficult and this discussion was a beginning of importance. They had Hunter’s sanction to be close enough to the King to invite intimacies with him. One could not get closer to a ruler than to share his bed. This was the offer put before them. This was Hunter’s offer, to sanction their courtship. Their courtship. He and Maxwell combined. There had been no reprimand, no demand they back off. No instruction they sort out their differences and one alone approach the King. Hunter was a law unto himself, answerable only to the King. He did not lightly give consent to anything, especially entry to the King’s bedchamber. The only answer he could devise to explain this decision was Pagan saw in each something to benefit Milliardo. Hunter was the King’s Agent. His duty was to preserve the ruler of Sanc, to ensure his security was unbreachable, his stress levels tolerable and that the King worked to preserve the traditions and sanctity of Sanc. What did Hunter see in them to benefit the King? It would be Hunter who made this decision, not the butler. Hunter never did anything without thinking it through; evaluating every pro and con imaginable. Hunter never acted needlessly or foolishly. //I will become Chang and will not always be able to be in attendance of the King beyond my capacity as his liaison with Parliament. There has been no mention of me stepping down and with how I intend to set up the Clan we will all become citizens of Sanc. Each will need to find gainful employment, myself included. Is Maxwell to mind Milliardo when I am absent? No. It can not be that simple. Hunter is never that easy to read.// He needed to think and not take the offer at face value. There was more here than he understood, but he was not about to pass up a chance to gain access to Milliardo normally denied anyone other than a body servant… or intimate acquaintance.
