Summary
(title from "Hard Sell" by The Crane Wives)
"We can still get out of here, Khun. While everyone's distracted with the celebration, we'll sneak onto a ship out of here. We might not be able to rely on any of the Great Families, but you have a brother in Wolhaiksong, don't you? Maybe they'd give us sanctuary."
It was a sound plan, risky but achievable. Except Aguero had the sense that now that Bellerire had won, he wouldn't be quite so willing to give up the thing that gave him the most claim to the kingdom's throne. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't chase him wherever he went, and if Wolhaiksong wouldn't give them sanctuary, then they would never be safe.
Besides, what would become of Bam's kingdom if Aguero left it under Bellerire's command? When Aguero had married Bam, he promised to take care of Bam's kingdom and people as his own. He'd failed to protect Bam; he couldn't break this promise to him now that it was the last thing he had of his husband.
"No," Aguero said. "I'm not abandoning Bam's kingdom."
