Viceroy. A ruler who exercises authority on a city or colony on the behalf of a sovereign. Or a butterfly similar to a monarch, but smaller. Obviously from context the former, though she'd be delighted if it had been the latter and Yotsuyu had somehow turned herself human. The only butterflies she'd ever seen, personally and not embedded in memories, had been the fake ones made by the Family and the ones that appeared when she got that stupid spell wrong.]

I was the intended messiah of a fallen city. It was a role forced on me, that I rejected, but it has left it's marks.
