Protection, at least.

You can admit at least in the safety of your own head, that you always did like Ivette.... You also just found Azar to be a fantastic lay, one you'll be eager to experience in the future. The promises of marriage and titles are, of course, out of the question, but... you think you can at least see to their protection.

More importantly they are not a real threat to your throne. Azar is an opportunist, but she simply desires the safe and pleasurable life of a royal, not the power rising to the top would grant her. A crucial distinction... She can easily be kept happy by supplying her with safety and spending money. Perhaps her skills will even be useful to you in the future.

And Ivette... well, you've always had a soft spot for her, and she is your own sister after all. You're also shamefully curious to see how many rare and sensual skills have been handed down to her from her unsuitable mother.

Yes, when your coup takes shape you're confident Azar will be on your side as long as you are winning. Of course you figure the two of them will be happy enough with the comfortable life of mistresses. Azar's smart enough to know that as a bastard her daughter could never sit atop the throne...

It's the rest of the family that worries you...
