Pure Consort Vanet Rishara was a woman who made little noise in the Sovereign's harem, but had married into New Oalta out of political exchange with their ally country of Kassine.
Like New Oalta, Kassine was also a continent. It was a country that specialised in the production of fine goods and was considered to be one of the most prosperous nations in the world. Their wealth ran deeply, and it was said that there were no poor there.
Pure Consort Vanet was the granddaughter of the Grand Princess of Kassine, who was the Jhikan's sister, and her father was the prince of a state within its borders. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her death brought about a new set of complications for the sovereign court.
Whether the rebellion had done it or not, the Court of Light now owed the court of Kassine an explanation, and without that explanation, it could be speculated that a war would come to their borders.
