"For the Blood?" Dinah snorted. "They've had their chance. For ten of their years, they could've tried to kick out a weak-Jeweled guy who killed his brother and his wife, and the teenage puppet Queens he set up. He's been abusing his position and the power, and letting his guys run roughshod over everyone, Blood or Landen, in the entire Territory. They're about to get a Queen with a darker Jewel and more power and three castes, if they'll just fight for her. I have zero sympathy for their traditions and their prejudices. Because that's what it boils down to." Dinah let loose a long sigh. "Look. I know they need to be reassured that the landens won't murder them in their beds just because they have some more responsibility, and status. But ... Honest to God, how would you explain it to them?"
