Role

Chapter 10

This is not a feeling that I am used to, but I felt a deep sadness when I heard
that the priest Groyli had gone into hiding. His ambition stirred me, and he
acknowledged my talents without seeking to dominate me. Had he succeeded in becoming
Sultan, I might well have taken on his guard in return for tribute and access
to his spies. With his passing, I feel an emptiness. I can only hope it will subside
in time.
