@slow burn erotica @Dubcon @It's all good. @antifilter @It is a novel. @Never Ever Mention Children Triss arrives in Kovir. A huge parade is thrown as the sorceresses sail down the canals. Every citizen is out in the streets cheering and throwing flowers. Guards ensure that every citizen is out, and ‘happy’. When they arrive at the palace a lavish feast is thrown characters are introduced. The King of Kovir and Proviss, is an elected advisor who doesn’t have direct power but had review power of the two princes. The prince of Kovis and the Prince of Proviss are hereditary royals who rule with equal power over the country but absolute power over their respective cities. This makes a strange political situation. Triss also meets the spy master and the holder of records for kovir, both nearly as powerful as the young naive prince of kovir. The prince of proviss is an older man who has particular and strict tastes. He is commanding and very demanding. His advisors are his general and a woman who appears a consort but triss suspect much more. The kingdom stands on the brink of a class divide. Rich powerful merchants and land owners have complete control over the royals through money. While the people are obviously on the brink of starvation. Triss realizes she may have delivered the sorceresses into a lions den.
