Title: Sister Dearest Rating: PG Word Count: 193 Pairing: Team Courtly Love (Kalasin/Wyldon) Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: Roald has his suspicions about his darling sister.
-----
“Kaddar knows Binur isn’t his, right?”
Kalasin doesn’t flinch when she turns to look at her brother. Roald was sent in their father’s place to personally deliver aid after Carthak’s last brutal earthquake, and it is the first time he had seen her son. Of course he knows.
“Yes,” she confesses, pulling her braids over her shoulder. He raises his eyebrows and she shrugs. “He and Zaimid are lovers, so he lets me have who I please.”
“What about the lady Saraiyu?”
“She has her own lover, as well.” A feline curve of her mouth lets him know who that is. “So tell me, how did you figure out Kaddar isn’t Binur’s father? And keep it quiet, please. My son will rule regardless, but I doubt our nobles would take kindly to discovering their ruler isn’t of their blood.”
Roald isn’t sure he likes this sister, so calculating and so exotically ambitious. He says, “It’s obvious he’s pure Tortallan, at least to me. The shape of the nose, the brown hair, the eyes—he looks like Wyldon, to me.”
“Good guess, brother,” Kalasin says airily, eyes gleaming, “but I shan’t say either way.”

I love how EVERYONE has lovers, and Kalasin is just so supremely unconcerned.

Carthak just seems like an excellent stage for a soap opera - thank you!
