Ravn is a bright and intelligent woman, who needs crowds to increase her prestige. Strombergs punishment strikes exactly this point: She will be deprived of any sovcial contact for months, that is worse for her than imprisonment in Kopenhagen. On the other side, the princess allowed Stromberg to exit the misery without scandal or institutional damage; not quite rule of law, but very economical and diplomatical. Thank you for your comment and question.
Love the antarctic exile as further training That's brutally clever. What made you pick isolation over prison for Ravn?
