In Conquest Born by C. S. FriedmanDescription: The Emperor is aghast.
'What did they say?'
Patiently, the messenger repeats himself. 'Braxin forces have taken the Azean colony on Lees,' he recites slowly. 'This constitutes open defiance of the' (he consults his notes) 'nine-hundred and eighty-fifth Comprehensive Peace treaty between Braxi and Azea.'
'Yes, yes, I know all that. What were their grounds - tell me that again.'
The messenger reads it verbatim. 'Kaim'era Vinir, son of Lanat and Kir'la, wishes to give his son the public name of Zatar. Therefore the Kaim'erate considers the current peace treaty invalid and without binding force.'
Slowly the Emperor leans back in his throne. 'Yes. That's what I thought you said.'
