Manipulation of Queen Merneith I find, may still be a threat to her continued rule. The concern I have is that there are undoubtedly going to be some corrupt minster plotting secretly behind her back and will take the opportunity to pounce upon her lack of level-headedness /gullible nature if/when she crumbles a bit under pressure.
Not saying that is a very likely occurrence, but one that we cannot completely overrule either. That is why I appreciate the point you made about Zaton serving as (somewhat) of a father figure to Merneith and as such, giving her the encouragement/guidance that she requires in order to rule with a sliver-fisted (albeit) level-headed governing mindset at that too.
She needs the resolve. But that will only come to be nurtured over time. It is not (and will not be) an instantaneous overnight transformation. I.e., the sensible mindset needed in exercising critical thinking when the need/situation calls for it in the most dire of circumstances. We have seen the queen exercise some sadistic and (sometimes) arrogant personality that will only do her a disservice to her leadership qualities in the long term. But you can chalk that up to inexperience and youthful pride. Once Queen Merneith is allowed more time to mature into her role, with a bit of constructive guidance along the way by Zaton, and more real-world experiences, I think we can see more of a fruitful future for her reign as queen in the grand scheme of things.
But, as we all know, only the sands of time can truly tell how the pendulum shall swing for the foreseeable future in this tale of tit for tat and all that.
Or stop in totality altogether. Abandoning caution and level-headedness to the far-reaching sands of endless nothingness.
Yes, I signed off on a (somewhat poetic/cryptic note). I was feeling that cryptic energy. Don't judge me Bwhaoahhaoaaa
