The Crown examiner reached the unfinished command house with a provisional Flint appointment sealed inside a narrow blue case.
Uriel read the title before touching the chair left empty beside Hajin's route table.
Household liaison appeared above her name, followed by permission to deliver Sixth orders and calm Flint dependents.
Nothing beneath the title allowed her to sign a wage page, open a granary, remove a collection steward, or choose anyone working beside her.
The former Patriarch remained in protected custody, yet every ordinary civil decision would belong to outside clerks.
Hajin watched Uriel read the limitations before the grants and kept his hands away from the blue case.
'A title that begins with what she cannot touch is a lock wearing a ribbon.'
A Flint runner arrived before Uriel finished reading and placed three rejected food orders on the route table.
