A friend offered me the body of a starving crack baby to use as a DDR mat the other day and I was not sure how to politely say "thanks, but I think I'm okay." :( These things are difficult!
I totally agree with you - I think one of the things that make the world so fascinating is that everyone knows that the whole divine-right thing is no guarantee that the king is going to grow into the person that they need to me. It's this really interesting juxtaposition of predestination and free will - and part of what makes Taiki's story interesting in the second book, too, is that you know from the first one that even though it seems like everything has worked mostly all right, and Taiki and his king are doing great, something is going to go terribly wrong by the time Yoko gets there.
