Sleeve notes:

'This business of honour wearies me. I hope you are not going to take it too seriously, Luke,' said Grimm, the new Seer of Winchester. To him and the other Seers such things as honour and glory were of no importance in themselves: they only mattered in so far as they served that larger plan to which their lives were devoted.

But honour in battle and public esteem were of burning importance to Luke, and when his best friend and his betrothed princess touched his honour, tragedy was the inevitable result.
