“Yes,” repeated Borric. Suli again shook his head. He had been almost speechless since returning to the attic. In a hoarse whisper, he said, “If I go back they shall kill me, my Prince.” Borric leaned forward and firmly took the boy’s shoulders. He attempted to fill his voice with as much menace as possible while whispering. “And if you don’t, I will kill you!” From the terror that shone from the boy’s eyes, he must have succeeded. The debate was over the boy’s refusal to return to his listening post near the Governor’s chambers to discover more of what was said there. Borric had told him that the more information they possessed, the better their chances of survival. The theory seemed lost upon the terrified boy. Discovering that the prisoner who escaped was a royal Prince from a neighboring kingdom was a shock, enough of a shock to push the boy to the brink of hysteria. Then by the time the boy had returned to the attic, it had sunk in that every power in the city of Durbin was being turned toward finding that Prince, with one thought in mind, to kill him!
