Prince Kamran undergoes an uncomfortable fitting with Madame Nezrin. The session is orchestrated by his estranged mother, who later admonishes him with veiled threats of isolation. Amidst their tensions, Kamran’s focus shifts to the imminent palace gathering, and he is especially concerned by the anticipated arrival of an unwelcome Tulanian king. Hazan stands firmly by him, alluding to deeper political and safety concerns. The chapter sheds light on Ardunian traditions, notably a magical marking that links heirs to the throne. Kamran’s marking, for example, is a gold streak, and he is unsettled by its recent changes.
As the prince and his minister continue to discuss matters, their relationship is further strained when Hazan references a news article that depicts Kamran as a compassionate prince: a portrayal that Kamran dislikes. The narrative takes a turn with the sudden arrival of Omid Shekarzadeh, who is known to Kamran but is a surprise to others. While Hazan sees potential danger in this unexpected visit, Kamran insists on seeing Omid. Their meeting culminates in tension as Omid, in desperation, inadvertently touches Kamran, leading Kamran’s guards to restrain him. The guards eventually release Omid, and he reveals to Kamran the news that the Diviners are all dead.
