Kalasin starts to go insane. Jon won't let her be in the Riders, her dream, so now she has a new dream, and she'll do anything to achieve it- to be Queen... Chapters 8&9 up!
Kalasin listened to her mother rasp out the speech of abdication. Thayet had no desire to be Queen, and would spend the rest of her days as Captain of the Riders, now called Thayet's Riders.
Kalasin's heightened state of coldness, of concentration, was shattered. Jonathan was dead, Thayet was out of the way, and because Liam was too young, yet, Kalasin was Queen. And Thayet, as her last will before abdication, declared Kalasin Queen.
