The Monster War: a Tale of the Kings' Blades
“He fell on the first bed he saw and slept until nightfall, and even then it was only hunger that woke him. Washed, changed, and fed, he began to feel alive again. He hoped that this condition would not be too transient.
Still under guard, he was taken to the office in the residence to face Lord Roland, and on the way there he met a second procession, comprising King Ambrose and another four troopers, although in his case they would be more bodyguards than jailers. Bewilderingly, the King flashe...d Wart’s smile at him. He was still dressed as an adept, in a cowled robe far too small for him. Perhaps there were no clothes in Nythia large enough to fit that king-sized bulk, or perhaps Lord Roland just wanted to keep the famous face concealed as much as possible. Badger was comforted to know that there would be a witness present, because he was well aware that his troubles were far from over. A lot of difficult questions need never be asked if the last of the Smealeys just accidentally fell in the river.MoreLess
