Plot and Counterplot

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 966

Lord Fred padded quietly along behind Duke Zular, having first taken off his armour so that it wouldn't clank. He had never been too sure of where the dark-haired young nobleman's loyalties really lay, and many were those who suspected that the accidental death of the Duke's father had been no accident at all. At any rate, it was not usual for a boy to become head of the estate at age 12...
He stopped behind a curtain as he overheard Zular talking to his servant. "Make sure you use the TASTELESS poison this time!" hissed Zular. "Queen Sovay's last words were that she thought her wine tasted funny, remember? I don't want that happening again!"
The servant flinched and ran out of the room, right past Fred, who went unnoticed behind the curtain.
WAIT a minute, thought Fred, that's MY cup! Zular is planning to poison ME!
But why?

  1. Fred confronts Zular openly.
  2. Fred asks discreetly around the palace to discover what it is that Zular has against him.
  3. Fred "innocently" asks Zular over to dinner at his mansion, expecting to switch the wine-cups around and make Zular drink the poison instead!
