章 37: Chapter 37: True Blood, Part 1

Everyone had questioned why Sule had been made North Captain so young. The East, West, and South Captains were all fifty-odd years old, and the youngest had been in his post for seven years already. Not a one was less than twenty years his senior, and while they cooperated with him, it was only barely. No one ever let him forget that he was too young, and no one believed it was for good reason.

Why, so many demanded, why had a man so young and unfit been picked over superior officers much better suited? He must have greased palms or done very dirty deeds for the crown. Blackmail, that had always been a popular rumor. It had never been as popular as the theory that he must possess exceptional cock sucking talent and an even better ass.
