"Christopher. I just heard that you left Prixima's services. But do not worry my comrade, I will always remember you. Keep the lockpicks, I hope they will remind you of me." Some other person would grin or smile, but Ernest just kept a straight face.
"Can we talk for a moment? I just need to exchange few words with you before we part ways."
"Gregor, I need to talk with you, if you... can spare a moment."
"You! You are one of the Gregor's guys, aren't you? You guys are allright?"
"Of course. The reason is simple. Sasha Rosecross, daughter of Vostin Rosecross, was to be married to Mannan Tunhausen to 'ease the tension'. Of course, I couldn't allow such treacherous marriage to occur and pollute our noble houses. So I sent them some special apples. They must've worked perfectly considering this siege came mere two weeks after I sent them my gifts. Now that Rosecross sieged a fellow Menelean noble, King Paragor will have the entire Rosecross family executed for high treason. Menelea once more will be a strong country without insidious traitors amongst our ranks."
"A pity, Christopher. I started to like you. We could've had a more... closer relationship. You might've ended as my advisor, even. Well, you're free to go. Gregor, Olison, Seyena - report to your squad leaders, if they're still alive, and prepare for whatever duties you will have to perform. The rest of you - go to the guest quarters two floors below my study, and wait."
"At last. Almost twenty damned years I've waited for this moment." Prixima stood up and looked over the mercenaries.
"Proud mercenaries, you're free to stay until evening. In the meantime, my people will clean up the fort and then I will bring five thousand gold I promised in the contract."
"Is that okay with you, forest girl, or are you now suspecting me of trying to cheat you?"
Maybe everyone in the world comes to the same conclusion we did and wind up awakening something nasty."...what legions of darkness? I just wanted to show everyone how fancy a noble I was with this pretty rock."
"Answers, answers, what am I, a traveling minstrel?" Prixima rubbed her forehead.
"Well, if that will make you all shut up and get my stone back at last... Once upon the time, the world was populated by humans. Also, dragons, to lesser degree. And then, from other dimension, came Gor-Tah with his hordes of demons. Dragons and demons fought a great war, but humanity just stood in the way. Humans, however, had the advantage of numbers. Dragons, a proud but small race, forged Dragonstones, fusing some of their raw power into the jewels, and gave one hundred and one of those gemstones to the Choosen Ones - the humans that possessed great magical skills, incredible strength, charisma, or combination of the three."
"As you can guess, a Dragonstone is proof that my ancestor was one of the Choosen Ones, the very person who helped to kill Gor-Tah and ensure the safety of the whole world. Today, Dragonstones still hold these powers, a fraction of that - that's why the Dragonstones have that 'swimming' glow in them. I do not seek the power. I merely want to make sure that now one forget the name of Kesselrin, the Golden Sorceress."
"Your family doesn't concern me, prince Forsaken." Prixima managed to squeeze some proper respect and restraint into that sentence, though.
"I don't remember anyone of Latzenhommer family being married to anyone remotely close to the name of 'Braxis'. You don't believe my words? See - I don't care about that too. If you want to be an adventurer, fine, then show me you can be loyal to your employer, that's quite important in your future career. Hand me the Lapis Lazuli, take the money, and leave my castle. I won't shed a single tear after you, girl."
"It is the Tiger's Eye, jewel of Latzenhommer family that's exctinct for over a century now."
"You want to know? Then I shall tell you." She leaned into her throne, staring at Charlotte.
"I wanted it back, because I promised my father that I shall cleanse Eor's family line from this world. That Lapis Lazuli shall return to us. He didn't live long enough to see that moment, but I intend to. What did you assumed I wanted it for? To gain supreme power? To start a bloody war to conquer the world? Please, little forest girl. You know nothing. Those under me can all rot and die for all I care. The point is - you're my pawns bound to do what I want, and I want my family's jewel, to restore our honour! I don't care how many you had to kill! All that is irrelevant. Now... shall I get the Dragonstone, or do you want to preach surrealistic morals at me, Charlotte? You better wake up and look around until you notice how the cruel the world is."
