the beasts over the crown

The joke didn't seem to amuse the absent-minded boy, although he briefly forced a smile on his face.

He replied in a hollow voice with an expressionless face:

"About the devil's bottles thrown in the river".

" Bottles of what ?" . The king exclaimed in surprise, leaning forward and widening his eyes to the point where it seemed they were about to pop out of their sockets.

" She asked my uncle yesterday... she asked the commander of the city guard to make a dozen of his men search along the dry 'Upper Spear' river for jars of the devil...".

When the king summoned Lord Marwin from his castle to appoint him as the hand of the kingdom, he came and brought with him his household and about thirty of his men, most of whom were his relatives.

He was keen on distributing them to most military institutions and granted them important leadership positions . So that each battalion or company was led by someone from the Freimann household. The city guard was none other than his uncle Benedict Freimann, and his two sons, Noah and James, served alongside him as royal guards for the king.

Thus, the hand held a tight grip on the army, and everyone obeyed his orders and pledged loyalty to him.

The advisors were alerted to the danger of this matter and pointed it out to the king more than once , even the queen warned the king against overly trusting friends and spoke in veiled words suggesting that her head and the heads of her three sons were only one order away from the 'hand' and his thousand swords scattered across the kingdom .

But the king paid no attention to their concerns, continuing to extol the virtues and merits of his childhood friend and how he knows what is within him as well as he knows himself.

" ...The bottles in which the fiercest demons and the greatest treasures and magical tools are imprisoned, as I have heard before. They found three or four of them , my king , lying here and there, but none of the guards dared to touch them or approach them to bring them back to the witch's tower as she had commanded. So she went herself with her companion to collect them, and after they finished that, they entered with them...they entered into the castle! "
