Deal

Fred realized he had to make a grim choice, if these men were telling the truth. The choice was truly grim. It wasn't widely known that lord Fred was a bankrupt. His debt was accumulated during generations of family and soon his mansion, his horses, even his clothes will be sold. Fred tried not to remember that all this assignment with a dragon he accepted only because he hoped either to get dragon's riches or to die before anybody knows about his shame.

His face was grim and cold as a piece of ice when he asked "What is the bounty?" Diana looked at him with terror.

Assassin answered slowly "Twelve thousands of silver swans. You can get three of them if you will just go away and forget this accident. You have a dragon to kill after all, as I heard."

"Meranese Swans? Why not our royal Crowns? Who set the bounty?" asked the knight.

"Does it really matter?" winked masked assassin.

Fred stands still for a moment then ...
