I just don't understand what/which is the "talk" involving Roygar but everything else is clear -- though indeed you must focus each and every chapter.
This story is quite thick and intertwined, surely planned months ahead for there are "details"/stuffs appealing to eyes in early chapters that came back later on as features you'd have a hard time to dismiss. It's an incredible chess game but here we don't watch a match between two players/parties : instead we really have a true politic game with several "groups if interest" playing their pawns while being wary of all others parties -- whether they are "opponents" or "allies" or "tools" can flicker by the opportunity of the moment.
Rarely have I read sth this elaborate that is no (mere?) caricature. Lawrence might be a "villain" but he's far from being the "real" opponent to handle. In fact, the only real adversary is this contest of interests, sometimes aligned and sometimes opposed. It's a political war and the 'winner' will be whoever dominates the board at the end of the game.
