In the end a compromise is reached. Both the western Hill folk and the three Princesses agree to essentially draft a wise woman who has been living in a secluded cave to avoid persecution by the cabal. Convincing her to take on the position isn't easy; she does not mind the responsibility, but she has no patience for pomp and politics. Also she possesses enough of the "sight" to have a rough idea of whether she is merely ill, or truly dying. When that occurs, she will select her replacement.

Not everyone wants an heir from the Jade family, however, even if the man in question were to instantly wed and produce a daughter. That name is virtually synonymous with wickedness now in many minds, regardless of the fact that the boy was innocent of any wrong doing. Those women who have put themselves forward as potential princesses, though, aren't very satisfactory either. The predominant feeling is that if a person desires that power and prestige, he or she is clearly unfit to wield it.

Choosing a successor for Jade Black Rose is not nearly as simple as it sounds, and it does not sound particularly simple. As it happens, the family of Jade isn't quite entirely wiped out; the former queen was not as thorough as she had thought, and a boy of about eight who was being fostered by a Central Kingdom House escaped elimination. But there has never been a male Gate Guardian in the Hill Country, and while he is now adult, he did not want to jeopardize any woman's life by marrying her.

The final siege has just been broken, and while it was not without bloodshed, Silver Fox's forces suffered relatively few casualties. Many of Queen Black Rose's upper echelon chose to commit suicide rather than be taken alive, once they saw that their defeat was not only inevitable, but nearly upon them. There are now three Gate Guardians, and it is time to elect a fourth. First, however, the Gates are thrown open, and the lamps that traditionally burn in welcome day and night, are relighted.
