Commentary: There you go, Sir Bic. I hope it’s what you were looking for.

you are killing them?! i’m surprised.

Brutal end there. Perhaps there is hope? Perhaps some maiden fair can sway the king’s temper? Some maiden named Elsha perhaps?

Nicely done with lots of tension building throughout.

You honor me with your grace, Your Grace. Thanks for the sequel August!
Are you certain of the loyalties of the Hand of the King, Lord Robert the Quick?
He has been known to seek the throne for himself. []o)

I am as certain of Lord Robert’s loyalty as King Duncan was of Macbeth’s. That’s pretty damn certain. :-o

Good, if unexpected, addition. Even though we have worked together for a little while now, I am often surprised. I don’t know if that makes me gullible or naive, or if we just think very differently.

On the other hand I know I don’t like all of the allusions. I went from knight to majordomo to Macbeth in a matter of sentences. I guess if the knife fits in my hand- stab? :P

@Robert: If someone drags your name into a story and hands it to a fictional character, and expects you then to write about it/him/her, I say that’s an invitation to chew the scenery!
