In the end, it’s all about appearances.

Oh, people can suspect all they want--and, of course, they do. It seems almost a hobby of the court, to gossip about just how accidental a significant death was. But gossip and suspicion count for nothing against a carefully-painted picture of innocence, of mere mischance, of gratitude for a sudden windfall.

Kesshare is not any kind of performer, nor is she flamboyant--she prides herself on her discretion. But Kesshare is, nonetheless, a master of manipulating others’ perceptions.

And, after three carefully planned, carefully presented murders, Kesshare is a master of appearances.

And that is one of the many reasons we adore her!

Thank you for sharing. A+ would buy her facade any day of the week.
