Royal Path
Graisingh had not slept a wink. He
had thanked Seur for the news,
agreed with him this was a grave
development. But reassuringly he
had said that a ruler had to see the
bigger picture. Defeating the enemy
- that was his first goal. Then his
people would be free. There would
have to be sacrificed. But eventual
freedom would justify all.
Even as he was talking, he knew
what he would do. But if he had
given the slightest indication of his
intent, his men would have stopped
him. Despite his unquestionable
loyalty, Seur would have tied him
down until his master saw sense.
