The Tyrant of Olympia was very worried for his future. Of course, he expected to benefit by marrying his adoptive son to Tekhne. Her family had gathered enough political power to be dangerous for him, if they chose to rebel. However, with their families united, they would prove to be a significant force of support.
What he had not expected was Perturabo's reaction. He had always been distant, but he appeared to be warming up to the young woman. The Tyrant could not help but worry a plot was brewing in Perturabo's head.
Well, he would find out. Perturabo was inexperienced and young (and it was best not to thing how quick he learned), so he still could probably keep himself in power.
Then he ran into his adoptive son, who proceeded to ignore him. That, in itself, was nothing odd. The odd thing was that Perturabo was grinning.
The Tyrant of Olympia nearly had a heart attack on that day.
