Chapter 151

"The table of the cunning hear much information spoken in secret; yet none would discern how far of those are truth and how far lies."

The Chief Palace of the King,

Capital City of Viricone,

The Kingdom of Hyll-Decanta,

Fair Afternoon of a Sun's full reign,

Second Mounday of the Second month,

Fiftieth Year of the Reign of Adon-Vericus IV

King Adon Vericus IV was well aware that the Republic of Tristendyre had endured a story of lies in the waging of a Crowning Ceremony of a Princess whose presence was not in their midst.

The Regentdom's cunning truly was a remarkable affair, in his opinion. However, against their deception was the cleverness of the very man he was making communion with: the Chief of Artillery from Tristendyre, Sir Israel Oreius.
