Heir, heir!

Amazing how a single spelling error, consistently repeated, can aggravate an otherwise placid reader, isn't it?

At this point I'm desperately hoping the story pulls a surprise on me, revealing that "hier" is the official title of the heir in Vallance for "reasons" and that you were teasing the readers all along. :D

@Deliverance You do not speak Vallancian, do you? But you did note that, for example, also "wil" and "surpreme" are spelled differently in English?
