He doesn't know at the end of LoCB, but I seem to get the feeling that
the Bad Guys will try to scandalize Zerika by revealing who her lover
is to all and sundry, in their attempt to gain support for Illista
("*Our* Phoenix doesn't sleep with hairy, icky, filthy *Easterners*").
We will see in /Sethra Lavode/.
Of course, /Yendi/ takes place a couple hundred years after LoCB, and
I find it decidedly unusual that someone who helped the Empress gain
her throne would never even meet her lover in all that time...
