She knew what the show was about, she felt in herself even the slight oddity at her, and not to mention the Emperor, signing up to appear on it. And yet, she knew little united an empire like a royal wedding. Now it was just the royal dating too that had been added for effect. A clever move, she had to admit, a great game that would keep all eyes on the Emperor’s emotions and away from the violence that continued on their borders. It was still politics, it was still power, but now it had a friendlier face.
She’d be showing hers tonight.
Whether or not she wanted Varyn’s hand, whether he wanted hers, that was all neither here nor there. What this promised was a way to the top, short, sharp, slightly gaudy even, but effective. Should she win, that was.
And really, it was a strong way to consolidate the leadership of the Empire.
It was a different tact she was playing, perhaps. Why worry playing romance when you could achieve a real political boosts for yourself and your people by leaving it in capable hands?
Still she'd known Varyn quite some time over the years, hopefully would lessen the nerves that she'd seen on the last few broadcasts. And hopefully that meant he would equally get a laugh out of the absurdity of the situation, one she herself reflected on as the young attendant (that had been vetted more thoroughly by Imperial Security than she believed she'd seen anyone ever be) handed her a blindfold.
