Catherine heard about the cabinet meeting. She had been expressly forbidden to go by her father, so she had made arrangements to be busy elsewhere. Busy and in the public eye to make it clear she was doing her duty.
When she heard the gossip about Cartwright's stand, she was surprised. Malwin had some iron in him but she hadn't expected such actions. She also noted the sudden assignments going out to move personnel he personally knew would be targeted out of Horath proper. She nodded silently. She approved of his efforts, though she wasn't foolish enough to come out publicly and say so.
Her father and Purity and Enlightenment were spinning out of control when they could least afford it. As much as she'd like to go to her stepmother or grandmother to rein her father in, she knew it would be a futile effort. It might also brand her as against her father, making him more paranoid and putting her neck on the line even more than it already was.
Damn the man, hadn't he impressed on her to strike when the time was right? So, what was he thinking? And her grandmother, she'd impressed on them to divide and conquer when it was appropriate, but this, this wouldn't so much divide everyone as get them to unite against the royal family!
She bit her lip and then did her best to refocus on other things. After all, her father's efforts had been stymied by the cabinet for the moment. No doubt he would find an outlet by blooding a few obvious chimeras and then let the matter slide for the moment until they got the war front under control.
