Apparently, the fact that this was a particularly bad time to bring bad news to the God quickly circulated in all the empire.

An unrelated piece of gossip : His Holiness the personal majordomo of the Magnificent God, was seen at the slave markets at about that time, buying an great number of unskilled slaves, soon after these news reached Teotihuacan.

That majordomo really looks out for his gods needs doesnt he?
I mean if he tried any harder at avoiding loosing his heart, he´d be noticed and loosing it anyway. A fine line to walk on. Currently he´s my favourite character in the story.[/QB]

Even the God likes him. And is quite aware that finding a suitable replacement would be very difficult. After all, he is very competent, he knows his place, and without him what little order is left in the palace would dissolve. Still, protocol is protocol, and rules are rules, and they can't be ignored. Besides, if he can't manage to keep his heart, then he's not as good as the God hoped, and doesn't deserve to keep his place. Or his heart.

BTW Any more chapters forthcomming?

Well, my AAR as managed to catch up with the action, so I have to play first (and by now hosting takes quite a bit of time), then write... There will be more chapters, but in a few days.
