Summary
All the journey to Batu Prabhang had been like this: too long, and yet not long enough. Never long enough. How could it be?
But now it was almost over. Now they had come to the great palace of the queen of Marang, and Vayatri and all her escort were crossing the huge terraced royal courtyard, and they would ascend the pavilion and present themselves and then there would be no way out.
She closed her eyes, and took another step. Even if there were a way out, she could not take it. She would not. The war had to end, before all was lost; and to end it, she must marry the queen of Marang.

I am compelled to continuously scan for the Golden Hind crew, despite having folded their bodies into specimen containers and sent them into space

Summary
There was always a fire in the schoolroom grate, even when she came home long after midnight. And Miss Cole was always there. Sometimes she would be turning over the pages of a novel (Maria was almost sure it was a novel); sometimes writing a letter; sometimes she would be dozing in the high-backed chair that had been Mamma's favourite when they lived in the country; but she would always be there when Maria looked in.
And Maria always looked in.

The brave knight slays the dragon. That's the way the legends go.
I should know. I put a lot of work into spreading those tales around, damn it.
Even if this one didn't go precisely according to plan.
Or:
I love the draconic shape. It is a form of glory and terror. That being said, there are definitely drawbacks. For instance, such as when you really feel the need for a good face-palm.

Summary
The palace was captured by the Chen-Pa sometime in the afternoon.
Jiayi couldn't have said when with any certainty. It felt as though she should have known, as if someone should have sounded the temple bell to announce it; it was strange, kneeling in the dimness of her chamber in the women's palace with maidservants huddled close around her, listening to their quiet sobbing and realizing all at once that she couldn't tell. If battle continued, it was not close enough to hear. Perhaps it was all already over.

Summary
Grandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.
Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.
Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.
(Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)
