Some Welcome News

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 23180

Illura:

Under the influence of the truth serum, Samuel "sings like a bird", as I hear our new acquaintance Scott call it. King Eric is still alive, which is welcome news. However he's being held very securely in a castle in a remote part of Daria, which is less encouraging. And as far as we know, in spite of our having captured Samuel, the whole of Daria is still firmly in the hands of his troops.

"But almost all of Samuel's men follow him through fear rather than conviction," Aaron points out. "Once they learn that we've captured him, and that he will never be coming back, then I'm sure that Eric will soon be released and welcomed back on his throne. Then you, Illura, will be able to concentrate solely on putting things to rights here in Zendara. It seems that Father has not long to live, from what we've heard from Samuel of the poison that his man in the palace has been administering. In the new situation I'm sure that even the most reactionary nobles and surviving military leaders will accept you as Queen. As for me, my destiny lies elsewhere."

"But it will be a matter of many days, perhaps weeks, before news gets back to Samuel's men in Daria," I point out. "Especially to remote regions like the one where Eric is being held."

  1. "Then we'll just have to find a way of speeding up communications," Jarlath says.
