Nah, it was politics. Classic coup, really, took out the royal family quick and cleaned house according to politics.

[Which means Mat finds it all rather boring. Politics tend to be. He can only hope the new ones are better than the old. He's not had a chance to form much personal opinion, he stays out of royalty's way.]

And of course we could leave the castle. But there was a heavily implied curfew and trips to other bits of Thorne were...let's say taken note of. Used to be a real pain in the arse to stay over in Nott, for one.

[The old queen had kept a tight leash. Of course, from what he's heard, it was even worse before he came here. He can't even imagine.]

Anyhow, it's all settling down now and I'm not a part of court or anything like that, so my life has been...largely unaffected.

[Not really, actually, but it's easiest to simply say that. The castle is a different place now. He's lost at least one constant in his life here that he quite depends on, or may as well have anyway.]
