NOMINEE FOR PROM QUEEN #1: THAYET
1. Please tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, I’m a working mother of six who has an investment in charities and human rights. And I’m Queen, but I consider myself to be one of the people. I just happen to have fantastic clothes, an endless bank account, and a personal army, but really, I’m just like you.
2. What is your greatest achievement?
You did hear about all of my charity work? And human rights? Oh, and my army! I made that. However, my greatest achievement is my children. They’re gorgeous. I outdid myself with them. I’m beautiful, Jonathan’s handsome, and people don’t seem to realize what a risk it is to mix perfection. Very often, pretty parents end up with rather unfortunate children because they didn’t consider what combining their features would do. Why, I know a lovely woman with large doe eyes who married a man with lush lips, but their child inherited both and he’s rather fishy. I have to lie every time I see her. ‘I’m sure he’ll grow into them,’ stops working when they turn twenty-five.
3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change and why?
I need magic. Jonathan can keep his battle magery to himself, but I need a spell to give me more time to sleep. Beauty like this doesn’t survive through the ages by will and spa treatments alone.
4. If you could invite one person to dinner - dead, alive or fictional - who would you choose and why?
I would love to have dinner with Queen Lianne and hear about Jonathan as a boy. Gary likes to tell stories, but I’m rather certain they’re exaggerated. Besides, every boy has at least one moment where he isn’t tearing through the castle and setting ugly tapestries on fire.
5. What do you think is the most pressing social issue of your time?
There are so many issues I could call the ‘most pressing’, but really, the difference between our time and the generation before us is change. Women fight and inherit titles. The common folk have access to free education. Servants are being seen as citizens with rights equal to nobility. We are allies with the Yamani, the Copper Isles is under new rule, Immortals walk the earth, and our animals just about talk! Yes, change is the most pressing issue, and how we as a people deal with it.
