In StrixAlluka's Eleven Moons duology, her Aritsar AU, you may recall that Book I, Eleven Moons Aligned, ended with Oba Mace's funeral and the reveal of Moon Mask as Montparnasse, who reveals himself to be another raybearer, accompanied by Musichetta, Hay Lin, a little Gavroche, and a Mewish lordling by name of Devin Trunswick.
Ever since that cliffhanger, we wondered how Eleven Moons Eclipsed would transcur and if there would be a civil war - rest assured, the late Oba's/High King's council decided that there would be a tourney between the members of the Sun Prince's (Enjolras') and the Moon Prince's ('Parnasse's) councils. And yes, Musichetta and Gavroche will partake in the council on 'Parnasse's side...
