I think what you mean to say is that I'm a genius for doing all of this, and if all goes well neither of us will need to worry about relying on our families for anything going forward.

[ No more being used as insurance for his parents' fortunes and titles or having to be reliant on them for everything he has. Because although being Qreshi is definitely a blessing and gives him a lot it gives no one else, there's also a lot of pressure and expectation put down. He knows he was only born to make sure no other relatives divvied up his parents' land and fortunes. He knows that he has no hope for the position of Seyah, and that he needs to appear to be in support of Land Kendry's decisions because they "need to appear unified as strong leadership."

Rhys would rather have power on his own terms. And if he can pull it right out from under their noses...why not? It's not as if Delle has never done anything underhanded to get where she is. And look how many Nine fall into step behind her. ]

And that's actually pretty much perfect honestly. That kind of attitude is exactly what I need right now. { The less anyone actually high up takes him seriously and keeps an eye on him, the better. ]
