Soon he would get to face the traitors head-on, and show them why he was King. He would finally be able to avenge his son, to assert his absolute power and stomp out the fire that had been set alight by two very foolish little girls. There had been no word from Thomas’s son, and that did not disappoint him, as he had expected just that. He had been lucky to have received the tip-off from another source, and when they arrived at the Silver City, he would be ready for their attack. He would also be sure to string Lord Thomas Caslon up in front of the Council Building, so that there would be no question about whether he made good on his promises. The boy would be with the Sun Warrior, and once he saw his father being led to his execution, he would give away the position of their army. And then he and his eight thousand Warriors would slaughter them like the worthless pigs that they were. Everything was just as it should be, had worked out better than he could have even hoped. The Sorceress would no doubt strike with the Sun Warrior, and the seeds of fear that he had planted in the minds of his people would be nourished and grow when they saw that the two of them were in league.
