Talking to Belboz
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 93637
|
"I've heard of Belboz," Astra said. "He doesn't have the best of
reputations, but it couldn't hurt to talk to him. After all, what do I
have to lose? I made a big mistake when I let myself be talked out of
leaving Allaria immediately. If Reaibn had told me earlier that I was
expected not only to marry Fred but to consummate the marriage in front
of him, then I'd have been off at once."
"I doubt that you would have been able to get away, if that's any consolation. Since my father managed to escape, Reaibn has strengthened his control over the kingdom. Anyway, as Belboz is now Reaibn's dungeon master, assuming that he's willing to talk to you there will be no difficulty in getting him into the dungeon. I'll go and ask him now." A short time later, Exotica returned with an elderly man dressed in black whom Astra correctly assumed must be Belboz. "Hello, Princess," he said. "I apologise for not having visited such a distinguished guest sooner. Astra could tell from his tone that he was being sarcastic rather than polite, and her heart sank. Still, she had to try. "Hello, Belboz. I know from your reputation that you are a powerful necromancer. I'm a little surprised to find that you are working as Reaibn's dungeon master." "I know which side my bread is buttered on, Princess. Unlike you, apparently. When he asked me to take on the job, I knew better than to refuse him. Though my own power is great, his is far greater, thanks to the Eye and the Dark Ones." "So if I asked you to help me, and maybe even free me from my fetters, I'd be wasting my time?"
