The Shifting Game Of Politics “Heero? Heero Yuy?” He had been listening to a conversation behind him wondering if there was something hidden within the context but the young woman’s voice drew him. He had wondered if he would have the opportunity to meet her this evening as he was privy to the entire guest list although last minute changes seemed to have not been mentioned. He needed to learn how Dorothy Catalonia had managed to get herself an invitation. “Miss Noventa.” Heero offered a respectful bow to the slender blonde in the stunning soft peach ball gown. “You look beautiful this evening.” Sylvia smiled and glanced about her. They were just a young couple amid so many others and no one appeared to be paying any attention to them. “You have changed since last I saw you. Changes, I think, for the better. You look quite dashing.” “I was hoping to see you this evening. How is your grandmother?” “She is quite well and she is here this evening. I was rather surprised to receive the invitation to be honest.” Sylvia half turned and inclined her head toward the small island of calm surrounding the tall striking figure of the king. “I do not consider myself a contender for the crown of Sanc.” Heero considered her for a long moment. “He is not looking.” “Oh, I can see that. He does not want to wed but we all know the pressures of position and the shifting game of politics. I will admit I did not expect to see the day he would be crowned King. I thought those days were long gone and we would be a single democratically elected entity. Mismanaged, hodge-podged together and treated as a business concern for the wealthy to make more wealth.” Heero arched an eyebrow. “You have a low opinion of the ESUN Council.” “With reason, Heero. The last few years have not been the kindest to my family. No, it has nothing to do with grandfather’s death but is more to do with people convinced of their right to interfere in matters of no actual concern to them. I will not elaborate, there is no need to. It has nothing to do with Sanc other than the fact Milliardo’s meteoric rise to the throne has supposedly sane heads threatening to lose all reason. He frightens powerful people and when powerful people are frightened they do powerfully stupid things.” “Ah. Thank you.” He bowed, acknowledging the message. Sylvia smiled. “He has earned the code name Phoenix in certain circles. People fear the immortality of the Phoenix rising from ashes. Be very careful, Heero.” “You harbour no ill will toward him?” Sylvia sighed softly. “He was not a part of New Edwards though he was a part of the war. So were you. So were most of the people in this room. Perhaps we all need to rise from the ashes, reborn.” End |
