sense of fun.' Jimmy started to speak, but Dominic said, "Highness,

if I may travel with your captain, I wish to journey to kRrondor. ' 'Of course, but what of your duties?' 'Another will take my office. I will not be fit for that sort of duty for some time, and we cannot wait. There is no shame or dishonour, it is simply necessary.' 'Then I am sure Jimmy and Gardan will welcome your company. 'Wait - ' began Jimmy Ignoring the boy, Arutha asked the monk, "What sends you to Krondor?' 'Simply that it lies on my route to Stardock. Father John thinks it vital we should inform Pug and the other magicians of what we know to be occurring. They practise mighty arts unavailable to us.' "That is well taken. We have need of all the allies we can muster. I should have considered that myself. I will give you some additional intelligence to take to them, if you don't mind. And I'll have Gardan escort you down to Stardock.' 'That would be kind.' Jimmy had been trying to be heard as he protested being sent back to Krondor. Ignoring his protests, Arutha said to Laurie, 'Take our aspiring young duke here and go down to town and find a ship. We'll follow tomorrow. Also see about some fresher mounts, and don't get into trouble.' Arutha walked away towards the barracks with Dominic and Martin, leaving Laurie and Jimmy in the courtyard. Jimmy was still trying to make himself heard, and was saying, " . but . . . ' Laurie clapped Jimmy on the shoulder and said, "Come along, "Your Grace". Let's get down the road. If we can finish our business early, we'll see if we can find a game at the inn.' An evil light seemed to come into Jimmy's eyes at that "Game?' he said.

'You know, something like pashawa, or over-undermaninbetween. Knucklebones or stones. Gambling.' "oh,' said the boy. "You'll have to show me how.' As he turned for the stable, Laurie fetched him a kick in the rump, propelling him along. "Show you how, indeed. I'm not some rube in from the farmlands here. I heard that the first time I lost my poke.' Running forward, Jimmy laughed. "it was worth a try."

Arutha entered the darkened room. Looking down at the figure on the bed, he said, 'You sent for me?' Micah raised himself up and leant back against the pillows. 'Yes. I hear you're leaving this hour. Thank you for coming.' He indicated Arutha should sit upon the bed. "I need a little sleep, but I'll be fit enough in a week or so. Arutha, your father and I were friends as youngsters. Caldric was just establishing the practice of bringing squires to court that's now taken for granted. We were quite a bunch. Brucal of Yabon was our Senior Squire, and he ran us ragged. In those days we were a fiery crew, your father, myself, and Guy du Bas-Tyra.' At mention of Guy's name, Arutha stiffened but said nothing.
