“What went wrong?” the Duke of Krelle asked. “There was enough poison in the pork to kill everyone at the table twice over! I should have been king by now.”
“Someone stopped us, my lord,” his spymaster said. “My sources saw a man, with a raven. They put an antidote in the thyme.”
“King’s Guard?”
“No. The Guard imprisoned the man for a time, but he escaped. He is very resourceful.”
“Very resourceful indeed, to counter our plans right under our noses. Too resourceful. Find him, and bring him here! I want to know who he’s working for!”
“We’ve got the best agents in the world, my lord. We’ll find him, and take the kingdom as well. It’s only a matter of time.”


THE END
