Rating: PG
Word Count: 49
Summary: Kalasin contemplates the irony of her relationships with Carthaki emperors.
A Certain Irony
There was, Kalasin mused, a certain irony to the fact that battle had once been waged to prevent her from being surrendered to Carthak, but now she was being shipped like a silk-wrapped gift to its emperor—a different emperor than Ozorne, she often had to remind herself.

It's really interesting to consider this chain of events from Kalasin's view - in the later books, I always forget that part of the earlier war with Carthak was over marriage and so I'd never really thought about how Kalasin would feel in becoming Kaddar's bride. Thanks for making me think about it now!

Thanks for making me think about it now! Thank you so much for commenting:D Kalasin's life seems so interesting to me since her perspective on everything from the Immortals War to becoming Kaddar's bride must be fascinating. It's only in more recent reads that Ozorne's proposal of a marriage between Kaddar and Kalasin being strongly resisted by Tortall jumped out at me as kind of ironic considering that ultimately she ends up being married to Kaddar in the end (though obviously under different circumtances). I wondered if Kalasin might have seen the irony more clearly than anyone else.
