Theyma didn’t know what to say. She’d known Caerus was ruthless and cruel, but he was also lazy and self-important. She couldn’t see him inconveniencing himself by setting foot inside a prison. Especially not when doing so would take him away from his favorite place, which was in front of an adoring audience. Whether making public addresses to a camera, or holding court with the diplomats, politicians, and administrators of Enceladus and the Confederation, Caerus loved nothing more than a large crowd of yes-men.
