Not all is well at the Kingdom of Capua's most important wedding. In the dead of night, a soldier from the foreign delegation sneaked into forbidden rooms for reasons unknown. While Knight-Captain Kristiano steadfastly denies that his man ever trespassed, tensions quickly escalate to the level of an international incident. Kris may look down his nose at Zenjiro as a "mere merchant," but with the reputation of his friends and allies on the line, Zenjiro's sure to have a plan up his sleeve!
Great play out of the political conflict between Freya/Nilda and Knight Captain Kris. Zenjiro is getting much more apt at playing the politics/sneaky game and I really enjoy the budding romance with Freya (even if it seems Zenjiro isn't there yet). Still great series and I can't wait to read the next.
Zenjiro is still being underestimated and this still one of the greatest advantages he posses. A controversial issue occurs that if not completed calmly could turn into a international incident. Lessons learned, tensions high and the sponger life...is far from this reality...which is good for us the readers.
