Trouble begins exactly when it seems that everything has ended well. At such a moment, it’s dangerous to relax—rather, you should think about questions that used to seem unimportant. For example: who, after all, overheard the king’s conversation with the minister? What happened to the detonator that the king’s jester lost? How should one understand the prophetic visions of the prince of Mistralia? Who are the Heavenly Horsemen, and what do they want? And in general, what will come of all this?
