Nolani hardly believed it.

She wasn’t actually nervous, following in such footsteps. She’d been Queen for decades, after all, if only a consort, and had spent years learning how to rule. She was prepared--or she’d thought she was.

Nor was it mourning--oh, she did mourn her mother, despite their complex relationship.

But how could Mother be dead? How could Queen Kesshare’s will ever be defeated?

Yet, here she was, on the Crystal Throne, in her mother’s place.

Nolani was a woman of wisdom and years, a grandmother and now a Queen twice over, and it still felt unreal.

Yeah, I can totally see why this is mind-boggling for her. You sort of expect death to come for Kesshare and Kesshare sort of... beat him in the nuts and just live forever.
