Seiran's never had any personal ambition, it's true: something I think you dealt with this admirably in the AU, so that he decided to pursue the throne of his own volition (actually, it's somewhat amusing how closely your thinking has followed mine and majochan's thus far, as you will see in future updates ;-) ). Pride Seiran certainly has, and a great deal of it, but everything seems to be personal with him.

I'm infinitely curious about the Ran family, since they're a lurking presence but seldom directly in sight. They are coming increasingly into play, though, especially considering what's been forecast for the next novel (and yes, I'm buying it as soon as it comes out, just for the pictures). Getting Shuuei to maneuver a possible hook for Ryuuki into place and possibly setting an acquisitive eye towards Shuurei and her Kou family connections, they're moving and with a vengeance. I can't wait to see what comes of it . . .
