Navier starts to snoop into the Viscount and his family and even invites the daughter to tea, knowing something is up between them and Rashta. But the Viscount makes a grave error in sending men after Navier's hot-tempered, overprotective brother, Korsair, and it may cost him more than just his comfortable, blackmail-paid-for lifestyle. Korsair is definitely a loose cannon, but he is getting to do some of the things that some readers may be wishing Navier could be able to do. He has been in very few scenes so far, and what he was in of this volume was intense and gratifying. There are other machinations in this volume that are also satisfying, and Rashta is really starting to show her true colors as a conniving, manipulative person. Readers also have to keep in mind that she is also trying to survive one very cutthroat environment, though that most likely brings little pity to the Rashta party. Navier is obviously a very sympathetic character for what is happening to her, but she is also an amazing character because of the way she handles herself and still manages to slight people in superb fashion.
