Weak "What is it you are anticipating? What are you expecting to happen?" Wu Fei glanced at Duo and after a moment shrugged his shoulders. The vapour trail of the incoming aircraft marked his doom and whilst he had known it was coming and had anticipated various scenarios, already the day had deviated from his every expectation. Milliardo had named him a noble of the Peacecraft Court. Not merely a noble but a Duke. Whilst it would not eventuate until perhaps the New Year, the elevation in rank was already known within the closed palace community. Within a day it would have spread beyond the palace and he could expect people to question his elevation. Nothing would change with how he intended to settle the Clan, or in his maintaining his employment as King's liaison to Parliament. He had made certain of that before he left the palace in Duo's company with his entourage of bodyguards and aids. He enjoyed his work and he had no desire to give it up, and even when he was elevated to the nobility he would not pass the title to another. His days would be full, but if he had his way, and he was determined to, then he would not be required to concern himself solely with the day to day running of a feudal clan structure. The Elder would not approve, indeed he was bound to be vocal in his objections, but he would state his position clearly from the beginning. If they sought a clan society it must, of necessity, be a modification of the feudal structure that had survived, in his view, for far too long. The destruction of their colony told him the clan should never again rely on such an uncaring political core. He anticipated going through hell because of his decision. He had support from his friends and with them to stand behind him, he would not falter. He would move forward and shape something wonderful. They needed to fit in to the society of Sanc which was, in itself, an ancient culture. They were not too dissimilar, to be honest. He had heard countless foreign diplomats comment on how quaintly archaic Sanc was; how feudal it was to have an active monarchy in this day and age. "Fei?" "Am I weak? Am I weak because I can not begin to think about going back to the way things were as a child? Am I weak because I want to change what has stood unchanged for countless generations, merely because it is I who will be at the focus?" Duo flicked chestnut bangs from his blue eyes, wide cheerful grin firmly in place. Wu Fei was of the opinion that if that smile glowed just a little fiercer, brighter, then he would see the shimmer of violet in blue eyes marking Shinigami's presence. Was he weak because he hoped to see it? Because he hoped They would see it and give him less grief? ~ * ~ |
