Plot
Gorlarrn Floistone witnesses the birth of Princess Rose Henley, where King Richard Henley is outraged at the birth of a daughter and he storms from his wife and child, cursing everything and everyone. As the 'King's Mind' one of the King's most trusted advisors he beieves it his duty to calm Richard down. Gorlarrn even persuades him to name Rose his heir and to make her the first ruling Queen of Daeroes once he passes. Although knowing that this decision would anger the current and true heir, by Daeroesi law, Lord Rowan Thorner.
