Lexx said, “It’s just… sometimes when she looks at me… I think she suspects. Might she be placing truth spells on me? Or a mind reading spell!” Morlecainen laughed, “I doubt she employs such Magick. The scenario we created in Black Dragon’s Horn was fool proof. You played your role, being me, very well. ****! When I looked at you in the garden after the deed was done, I thought you were me. I must say I made a rather good sorcerer of the north. No one suspects. The Gray Elves and the Sorcerer of the north took the fall for our malfeasance. All we had to do was kill a slutty handmaiden and grimy house servant. In so doing we stopped Chalar from making more mistakes and brought her to our side.” Lexx said, “I only did what you asked of me. I… know Chalar had feelings for Aemma. She had just experienced childbirth and we threw this on her. I regret…” Morlecainen gripped the sword. Large flames leapt from the blade. The sorcerer harshly replied, “Now don’t be getting a conscience on me. You now have your father’s support for your war. You have another sorcerer. I have the blade and enemies to vanquish. Fuel Chalar’s anger. Make your preparations, but don’t rush the assault. Send in goblins, ogres, and hobgoblins, and mercenaries first.”
