Finally caught up again with the story. Very interesting developments with the Trapezuntine regents and the Ottoman civil war. It appears the vizier's faction is winning the war so I wonder if there would be a purging of the Turkmen because the Turkmen seems to support the traditional ottoman...

Seems that Alexios will eventually start executing people for imagined crimes. If I were Katsarina, I would make preparations to get rid of Alexios before Alexios gets too paranoid to think rationally. Can't wait for more! Also I think you mean Vakhtang not Alek'sandre above.

It seems that Katsarina is the anti-Theodora. A courtesan who became empress, but instead of helping her husband throughout his reign, is secretly plotting against him. There should be a court historian like Procopius at Trapezous. I know at Constantinople there was one major historian involved...
