Content with a Standard is the fifty-sixth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Sharess peruses the changes at Nazrin recently while watching the courtyard, hoping to see Abjuris and Fea-turin, but she has no idea where they are. When the throne room empties she goes to find Donovan and she checks whether any information has surfaced regarding Kaltrin's misdemeanours, but he says no. Frustrated and exhausted, she cries against him briefly. He opts to take her to see Fea-turin and Abjuris, leading her across the palace and towards the training grounds of the barracks.

There she spots Fea-turin who, while initially reserved, quickly softens at her abrupt arrival. Sharess points out that he is conspiring with Fall-un'tir to kill Valon and states that he doesn't have to, but he says it isn't quite so simple. Before they can speak further  Fall-un'tir turns up and tries to have her removed. She refuses, taunting the general's incompetence regarding Valon, resulting in him striking her. She further taunts him, branding him a pedophile, which he responds to by bringing his foot upon her head and applying pressure.

Fea-turin quickly tries to stop him, but Abjuris does not. Fall-un'tir eventually relents when he is reminded that it is a capital crime to kill the children of the abaddon, and the general picks Sharess up and hurls her away. He leaves with the two incubi, leaving Sharess feel as though nothing was gained.
