Respect For Propriety "I am delighted he has as much respect for propriety as his mother had." Pagan considered the Dowager Duchess and refrained from smirking. It would not do to have the old dame see him smile, but he had to admit the former King of Sanc would not condescend to use the servants' stairs, unless in a case of emergency, whilst the Queen had made expedient use of the nearest staircase to get herself from point A to point B without walking a considerably longer distance than necessary. "Stephan was always too aware of his position. Milliardo has turned out rather better in my view. Those two young bucks out to hunt him will see him keep that casual touch." "Master Milliardo is too aware of propriety, I fear. It is pleasing to see him relaxing as he is, though I am hopeful he will get some sleep before his first appointment of the day." "That old fart Harlington? Another harping session on his unmarried state?" "In addition to Parliament's requirements for the next six months to be incorporated into the King's schedule. There has been a request for Milliardo to present himself to the ESUN Council of Representatives. " "Nitpicking and name calling. Relena's defection to actually take up a Princess's duty would have tweaked some noses out of joint and they will be finger pointing at her brother. Dishonourable curs, they know he'll accept the blame without voicing a protest. It's the honourable thing to do to take the heat from his sister. You should let that young Dragon of his loose to breathe fire and brimstone over them." "Master Chang has been known to breathe a little fire in the past." Pagan smiled fondly at thought of the prickly young man, now homeless, but working to establish a new place within his heart he could acknowledge on every level as home. "I suspect Master Chang will be required to attend Council in turn to answer for his decision to relocate the Chang Clan to Sanc. He is the Chang after all and he will, in effect, be as much a reigning monarch as Milliardo once the Clan acknowledges him." "There is a great deal of tradition and honour binding him, as much, if not more, as that which binds Milliardo as Head of State. You will need to remove a couple of our Members of Parliament from their positions if they continue to disrupt the proceedings in Parliament." "There is an election coming up." Pagan inclined his head to the Dowager. "Perhaps they might not be re elected." "Such a pity that would be," Anastasia sighed softly. "Some people have no sense of honour or justice. They are in search of power simply for personal gain. Sanc can ill afford them at this time." "Agreed," Pagan murmured. "If one adheres to a strict sense of honour one is less likely to bring disaster upon oneself, or others unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity."
