With a family name like Merrimine, there's a reputation. The young Viceroy had grown up steeped in it. He had to keep it, alas, since the name also came with a lot of official documents including holdings and rights and responsibilities.
All things considered, it was pure luck that Vindication Merrimine grew to be such a well-rounded young man. One, additionally, free from the prejudices of the man who sired him. It helped that one of his older brothers was a Hellkin. It really helped that many of his half-siblings were also heroes working in the realm.
When Loyalty took the crown instead of Jubilation, he was the first to attest to his brother's ability to rule fairly. As the icon of the former revolution, Vindication knew that people would listen to him.
