Nice. And he doesn't even have to worry about retribution from his house, his matriarch never wanted him gone. Of course, it may be be inconvenient to have him around. Wonder where he will live if the house ends up not being an option?
The soldier’s cowled head came up and he * Darek a very obvious up-and-down look.
Seems to be missing a verb. Maybe "gave" or "shot".
“Right where you’d love to be,” Darek said. “Do you think you’re not going to get a better chance than this?”
This sentence sounds like it's backwards from what Darek was trying to say. I think either that "not" shouldn't be there or the "Do" at the start of the sentence should be a "Don't".
Yep, Darek expected he was being bullied to serve as a forign general's butt-toy to win brownie points with another house, something he wouldn't relish but could endure.. figured he'd not take too kindly to the idea he was actually being married-off.
House D'wyr is so clever and subtle in it's intricacies, just as the Goddess would expect.. too bad they're too subtle to just call-out Durlia on her un-subtle and inelegant macinations.
It seems our deep society is getting more complex. Our house matron who once seemed so powerful has been matched by a number of other matrons, and now we catch sight of a general who can at least equal them, and may rank them.

And it is a good place to leave us wondering. I know I'll be eagerly anticipating the next one.

Must be a member in good
Standing of some depth
Darek gets cocky
Enough to crow about his
Female persuasion
Betwixt and between
An intact and altered male
Is one who's half-cocked

Really shows the kind of quick-witted resourcefulness that got Darek where he is.

Where will he end up?
- 'Greetings and salutations to you, Dee.'- Darek?! Alea?!?!
