Kennit lucks his way into starting his kingdom in the small slave-refuge, pirate village of Askew. He earns loyalty and adoration for reasons he can't even comprehend. Meanwhile, Keffria is once again rebuffed by Kyle in conversation and ridiculed for presuming she can help raise their kids. She desperately tries to convince herself that Kyle still means well and that he's a good man.
