Summary
Imperial politics occasionally require decisive solutions.
When two increasingly inconvenient Houses refuse to collapse under ordinary pressure, the Emperor arranges a marriage instead.
Percy Jackson commands fleets that make trade routes behave.
Annabeth Chase advises Houses that prefer not to admit they need advising.Individually, they are manageable problems.
Together, they are supposed to become a stable one.The court expects a polite alliance, a few heirs, and minimal disruption.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, both of them have a habit of looking too closely at things.
And once you start doing that, certain systems begin to look less inevitable than they were meant to.
