AFTER THE MEAL WITH the Queen, I went back to the hotel to find Madi Belvokrut waiting for me in my room. The foxes were warned in advance that the gnome could appear at any moment. Furthermore, they were instructed to keep him around by any means necessary until I showed up. And so when I entered the room, I found Amber and Onyx distracting the red-bearded private attorney with tales of their life on the Dark Continent. Apparently, he had never seen foxfolk before, and so he was listening to my bodyguards' prattle with his mouth agape. By the way, his cousin Tod was also there. And he was spellbound, too. The stare he was giving them. I didn’t blame them. Onyx was giving a colorful retelling of the blackblood assault on Foreston. I wasn't worried the sisters might tell them something they shouldn't. They're smart girls. They know when to hold their tongues.

My entrance was not noticed right away. I had to clear my throat loudly to draw attention.

"I'm guessing you've been spreading our order's secrets left and right then?" I said loudly with a jocular tone.

The gnomes turned their heads my way at the same time, then quickly got up and both gave deep bows.

The sisters also got up and, with a short nod, left the room at once. Their movements were calm and deliberate, letting me know they had done an A plus job on my assignment. With a grateful nod to them, I took a step toward my guests.

"Oh come now, Sir Magister!" Madi said, adopting my tone. "We're only paying tribute to the courage of your warriors!"

Tod kept silent, but by his cheery gaze, I could tell that the gnomes' attitude toward me had changed drastically. It isn't hard to guess why. The recent duel. Plus I had seen Belvokruts at the clan council. I'm sure the elders had already informed the others of my role in bringing the Queen back to life. I won’t lie. I was happy it all turned out this way. I was really hoping for a good relationship with the clan. I had lots of work for Madi.

"Nice to see you again!" I extended a hand with a broad smile.

"You too," Madi responded simply but sincerely and squeezed my hand.

"Tod, thank you for setting up this meeting," I nodded to the assistant to the secretary and turned to Madi: "I was happy to hear you were here in Stenborg on business."

With a gesture, I asked the gnomes to sit. Following my invitation, they lowered down into their seats.

"Alas, Sir Magister," Madi sighed. "There is no business. That was just an excuse for our ill-wishers. Actually, in light of recent events, we had to wrap up all our affairs in Ironville and leave Fradia in a hurry."

"I understand," I shook my head. "I'm sorry you had to do that. All the more so given I am to a certain degree at fault."

The gnomes traded concerned looks.

"Sir Magister," Madi said indignantly. "I admit, the Steel King had a good relationship with the gnomes.
