>Chapman Jirom was, however, an admiral with considerable personal ambition. He had been given a chance to win the favor and trust of the Supreme Commander, and he knew that if he succeeded his future would be bright. If the war could be concluded on favorable terms, he would probably be treated like one of the Zabi family. In fact, without Dozle and Kycilia Zabi around to interfere, he would probably be given a position in power second only to the Supreme Commander himself.
>At the same time, Chapman was a fairly rational man, fully aware of what could happen to him if he linked himself too closely to Gihren’s fate. Gihren had, after all, just decided to sacrifice one of his most trusted men, not to mention thousands of his troops and his own sister. But if he, Chapman, worked fast now to help Gihren eradicate potential future problems such as Dozle and Kycilia, he was convinced he could avoid Randolph’s impending fate. Going along with Gihren, he quickly concluded, was a gamble, but it would be worth it.
