He remained here long enough to marry the niece of his patron, and doubtless saw himself settled for life a kingly crown within his reach should his student-sovereign pass away. And the royal friend did pass away, by the dagger's route. As life-insurance risks I am told that Kings have to pay double premium.
If you wish, I will give them your soul-blade." "I am not yet dead," Corina said, caressing the dagger's hilt. She turned and left. "No," Thark said softly, watching her leave. "Not yet." As soon as she was out of sight, he mindcalled his lieutenant. *Valla? I have a job for you.* *Yes?* came the calm reply. *Corina Losinj must be eliminated.
