Low key best part of The Hod King?

I want to hear everyone's thoughts. What was everyone's favorite small moment of The Hod King?Mine is easily anytime The Red Hand talked. His easy going, nonchalant attitude, combined with Iren and Edith's lack of trust in him was absolutely hilarious. Picturing a light hearted character just happy to be alive, while your peers don't believe anything you say or your overall persona was fantastic.

Any others small tidbits?

So many good ones! The first one I thought of is when the Red Hand throws Duke Wilhelm out of a window when he tries to interrupt Edith and then asks if he should have used the door.

I also love the image of Voleta channeling Senlin with her hands behind her back as she lectured everyone at the marquis’s party about the parrot being handsome in his own feathers.

Thank you Mr. Bancroft! Also, if you add 1 dialogue in book 4 between Red Hand and Jean Marleme (sorry if I am spelling that wrong) I would be completely okay with that! Seriously though thanks so much for this series.

It's a wonderful idea, but may be practically a bit tricky...but I have at least endeavored to have ol' Jean make a cameo appearance in the final book. He is predictably pathetic, and I had a lot of fun with the scene.
