Of Bloodlines "What do you think of them?" On the screen Chang Wu Fei and Duo Maxwell descended the staircase bridging floors three and two. There was no sound and the camera monitored the stairs overall length and had poor resolution, but it showed enough to clearly portray who used the stairs. "I have found them to be fine young men. Sensible, intelligent; instilled with a remarkable sense of honour. Given the trials of their pasts they have emerged from their respective crucibles as remarkably fine specimens." "Were Chang female he would be the perfect match for Milliardo. Old blood nobility of a lineage traceable to a few thousand years with only the one mutual cross in ancestry." The Duchess sipped her tea, watching the young men as they exchanged a few words and began to jog along the hallway. "Mutual cross in ancestry?" Pagan queried. "A Chinese Princess who died before she was crowned Queen, QuiYue. She produced a son who reigned briefly at a later time, but he survived long enough to secure the bloodline. The Sisterhood is old, Pagan. We are honour bound to keep meticulous records. My predecessors were aware of every child born on either side of the blanket of legitimacy. Mr. Chang's ancestor was recorded as being astute to the ways of political intrigue and an exemplary mother. A physically beautiful woman with a serious sense of honour who understood she would never return to her homeland and accepted her fate graciously." "Chang was reared to a traditional society steeped in honour and an emphasis on justice. I can well believe an ancestor would accept whatever fate brought her so far from her homeland." "I have had occasion to speak to both young men, and to that young stud Relena has her eye on. They come from vastly different walks of life, but they each have developed a good sense of honour. Chang and Maxwell wish to jump our Milliardo's bones," she grinned wickedly at Pagan. "I rather like that turn of phrase. Young Duo has very little pretention about him. He is honest to a fault for all he was reared in a ghetto. Street child he might have been, but he has some good genetics. Perhaps a by-blow of some young noble entertaining himself by slumming, who can know? He is a good looking creature and has enough life and vitality in him to force the other two to live." "Will the sisterhood be content with Stephen as heir? Will Milliardo have no pressure from you to provide another to secure the future of the line?" "One is enough, though more are always to be desired. Our bloodlines have been forcibly thinned and we could well do with a bumper crop for Sanc's future. Were I you, Hunter, I would keep a close eye on the antics of our Mr. Maxwell. That young man has plans. Life in the palace will be far from boring with him around."
