[[Lord Admiral]] [[Delius]] [[Lord Artisan]] [[Rite]] [[~~Lord Mason\|~~Lady Mason]] [[N'Teese]] [[Baon]] Kenton's party arrives at the Artisan's Central Studio and find Khrissalla there waiting to help as his new "diplomat." They enter to speak with the [[Lord Artisan]]. Kenton translates for Khrisalla to Lord Rite, but N'Teese translates the Lossandin into Dynastic for Khriss. Lord Rite is mostly upset about the unpaid debts and the possibility of future theft. Khrissalla, appalled by Kenton's lack of tact and compromise, provides a solution quickly: sand masters will help the Lord Artisan on a percentage basis to keep them incentivized; and, in return, the Lord Artisan will vote for the Diem. To show good faith, The Lord Mastrell must pay the debt, but Rite clarifies that he only owes 1,500,000 lak to the Draft. He also knows that the Farmers Congress is owed another 500,000 lak. As they depart, Kenton wonders to whom the other 5,000,000 lak is owed. Khriss wants to join Kenton for his next appointment, but Kenton notes that by [[Khrissalla's_Journal#Dayside_Timekeeping\|Taishin Standard time]] all of the Taishin will have closed their offices at twelfth hour. When he mentions that he intends to see Lord [[Raagent]], Khriss mentions that she was turned away from the Tower because the {{[[Lord General]] had left on a Deep Sand hunt. Aarik mentions that his father—the Lord General—uses hunting trips to avoid people. Kenton resolves to go find him, but he convinces Khriss that joining him on a trip to the Deep Sand is an order of magnitude more dangerous than their trip across the Kerla. :''The Diem'' :''Kezare Slums'' N'Teese arranges a meeting, so Khriss, appalled at the conditions, meets with the Lord Beggar in a filthy alley of the slums. Nilto takes a moment to send a young boy on an errand while Khiss is explaining how she would like him to support the Diem, because Gevin had come looking for support from the Diem for Darkside and the Diem must survive for her to fulfill his wishes. Nilto tells her "never to beg a beggar" because he does not believe a Mastrell can actually help the poor of Lossand instead of serving only thier own bloated egos. The boy returns with a small parcel, which Nilto gives to Duchess Khrissalla; it has Prince Gevalden's pistol and signet ring. Nilto refuses to explain how and why he has them, informing her that nobility in all forms makes him sick. Khrissalla calls him a "horrible man," which Nilto takes as a ~~compiment~~compliment. The Lord Beggar leaves and, while they return to the Lonzare, Baon questions the wisdom of allowing Cynder to lock the pistol and ring in his repaired trunk until they can be returned to Gevin's parents. :''Eleventh Hour—Lonzare'' [[Khrissalla]] (Point of View) [[Ais]] (Point of View) [[Aarik]] (Point of View) [[Baon]] [[Aarik]] [[Mellis]] [[Cynder]] [[Wilheln]] (mentioned only) [[Skathan]] (mentioned only) [[~~Lord Mason\|~~Lady Mason]] (mentioned only) [[Raagent]] (mentioned only) [[Vey]] (mentioned only) :'''Kenton''' :''The Diem'' Kenton is meeting with Dirin, who was told that the [[~~Lord Mason\|~~Lady Mason]] is willing to vote for the Diem because of Kenton's actions in saving her workers on the construction site, as well as caring for their well-being. Khrissalla arrives and tells Kenton what happened with Gevin, Baon, and Acron. Baon and Cynder arrive, and Cynder asks if what happened with Jon is true. Baon explains the situation, including why he killed Captain Deral and the lieutenant: who were planning to sell their party to the Dynasty patrol. He was forced to act to protect both of their missions. Aarik arrives bearing the news that the Lord General and the Lord Merchant are both missing. Ais confirms that because Kenton needs a unanimous vote that if there is even one abstained vote due to nonattendance, then his case to save the Diem will fail. Kenton asks Khriss if she would like to provide diplomatic support when he visits the Lord Farmer the next day.
