Oh, you'd be surprised. As long as you're a good enough soldier, you can get away with rather a lot. Miles' father spent years getting beaten and fucked by my uncle, and they made him Prime Minister. - Miles' father, that is. They didn't make my uncle anything at all - he died from a bit of throat-cutting, courtesy of Miles' mother.

[ That's said...very, very casually and cheerfully. ]

But good question. The answer is not at all. I've had someone literally weep at me for what a mockery I'm making of our noble class before. A grown man, weeping.
