Think Fast!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1048

"Hmmmn...." said the King. "Zular," he turned to the handsome, sharp- featured young nobleman lounging languidly next to him on a miniature throne, "what do YOU think we should do about Sir Josh?"

~~Zular is his advisor now?~~ thought Sir Josh with a feeling of deep dread. ~~Oh, boy. This doesn't bode well. Everyone KNOWS Zular is a power- hungry, sadistic loonie.~~

Zular smiled crookedly and said: "Kill him at once, your Majesty. He doesn't deserve to live."

"WHAT!??!" cried out Sir Josh. He had to think fast. With the King pissed and Zular in a good mood, only a fast tongue could save him now. "My Liege," said Sir Josh. "You know me as servant and Knight. I am Sir Joshua de'Rambo-fin-fambo-liki-lucki-lucy-honey-I'm-home-Tambo from the County of Suffix, next to the Duchy of Suffex on the lower peninsula of the Greater Kingdom. We have a grave dragon problem and if you kill me then we will have even less Knights to fight the dreaded monsters!"

The King looked upon the young Knight and smiled: "But Josh, my boy, I don't intend to kill you..." Sir Josh began to breath a sigh of relief "...that is the job of the Royal Executioner."

~Oh shit!~ thought Josh. "My Liege, if you have ME killed, then YOU will have less Knights to fight the dread-monsters."

The King seemed to be mulling this over while Sir Zular the Little began to look puffy in the face.

  1. The King says: "Alright, I will give you one more chance."
  2. The King says: "How dare you, a minor Knight from the fields of Suffix, talk to your Master in such a tone!?! Off with his head!!!"
