From Quiz Keys to the Kingdom: Precedence within the House

Answer: 13th

Superior Saturday's Dusk is 15th in precedence within the House.

We know that Dawns are ranked higher than Dusks because Arthur offers Monday's Dusk a post as Dawn who turns it down because Dawns are more typically girls. Arthur wouldn't have offered Dusk a place as Dawn if Dawn wasn't ranked higher. Also, being the weakest out of Monday's Noon, Dusk and Dawn would be a good motive for Dusk to help Arthur.
