Don Parsons asked L.E. Modesitt Jr.:

I was wondering what led to the shift in Sub Majer's Challenge to remove the conflict with Saelora's mom regarding Alykkial's consorting and how that impacted the book?

L.E. Modesitt Jr. Time... and the fact that Saelora isn't suited to anyone else, that Alyiakal is now a senior officer and holds the same rank that Saelora's father did, and that Alyiakal is part of the reason Saelora's successful, not to mention that the two love each other.
