Everyone's hating on Duke Ergy, but he's clearly working at Heinley's behest to orchestrate the divorce.
The plan is to make Trashta suitable enough where the divorce can happen at all so Navier can leave, because she herself can never directly ask for the divorce without serious repercussions...
I'm confused how she got there. She was kidnapped to be a slave for the court, and thats just like fine?? Like her kidnappers get paid by the government??? She seems kinda chill about it
