The spy "Mithril" also includes, as a personal opinion, that kidnapping the spouses won't achieve anything. Neither the court nor the government will miss their constant arguing, and even if the royal couple could be made to agree upon something and then returned to the castle, no one would believe it was really them. Nonetheless, Shooting Star is determined to attempt the abduction. Therefore, "Mithril" sets his mind to thinking up ways and means that this goal might be safely accomplished.

It is amazing, "Mithril" concludes, that any bounty at all got laid on Shooting Star's life, and he suspects that the bureaucracy did it of their own volition, which is the only way that roads get maintained and some law and order is enforced. "Mithril" is not sure why Galad is so keen on having children, as they won't inherit anything. When one of this pair dies, an new marriage will be brokered, although next time with the man being from the countryside and the woman coming from the towns.

Galad, the King, is from the predominantly town-dwelling ethnic group of the islands, while Rian, the Queen, represents her more rural, ocean-side ethnicity. Galad is bright enough to know that his wife, by an arranged marriage, is much smarter than he is, and resents this highly. Furthermore, he faults her for their lack of progeny. Rian hates town life and blames Galad for the fact that they must reside in the castle. She also despises his assumption that urban equals urbane and cultured.
