Thank you, Temeraire. Are you fond of poetry? [He smiles.]

All of Anafiel's poetry was banned- it is a complicated situation, but I will strive to explain it as best I may.

Edmee de Rocaille, a dear friend of his, was set to marry the Dauphin, Prince Rolande de la Courcel, but she was killed in a hunting accident. Anafiel suspected that it was her rival, Isabel L'Envers who had arranged for her saddle girth to be cut. There was no proof, but he wrote a satire on the matter and so she was derided as a murderess. Since Isabel married the Dauphin, she had the power to demand that Anafiel be punished. The Dauphin loved Anafiel, so he was not exiled- the ban on his poetry was the lighter sentence.
