Rebecca's emotions could not be contained at this news. "What is it?" she asked excitedly. |

Mordain dismissed his stuff in a soundless burst of smoke and folded his arms. "We have reason to believe that an Ahm-Sheran woman was involved, or possibly responsible for, the abduction of the King. And I think you could help us identify her." |

"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil. "It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil. One of the Last Guardians. Suck it. | |

The messenger had arrived and delivered word to Nathaniel that he had been sent for. He returned to the palace forthwith and was led by a Royal Guard to the Queen's chamber where the Queen and Lord Mordain were. After entering he bowed silently to the Queen but said nothing. He was aware of the babe sleeping soundly in the room. |

"Ahm-Sheran woman?" asked Rebecca, something stirring in her mind. After a moment, she nodded and said, "I remember one...a girl more than a woman." |

Nathaniel said quietly "We believe she had an audience with you and the King, your grace. Anything you can remember of that meeting could help in finding the King." |

"She was angry," said Rebecca. "James denied her aid. She...uh...she said something about being related to the Castodens, to an ancestor of James's." |

"Did she say how? It must have been significant if she believed it entitled her to demand aid from Weissland, especially in these times." Mordain did not like what he was hearing. The most obvious reason for James's abduction was quickly becoming revenge. |

"She said something about an ancestor of James's having an affair with someone, and that the girl got pregnant and fled to Ahm-Shere," said Rebecca. |

Nathaniel mused "Hmmm, a distant blood connection but outside of marriage. I suppose it might yield some measure of entitlement, or at least such that a connection could be exploited for political gain. Many old families in Weissland have come close to extinction and there are loop-holes and technicalities to allow less eligible heirs or family members to carry on the family name, or inherit lands and titles, not that that really applies in this case. This girl might have believed the King would be more susceptible to her cause due to a shared heritage, no matter how disjointed." He asked "Do you happen to remember her name, your grace?" |

Mordain was growing most frustrated. Neither the Queen or Kassal remembered this girl's name, and they were likely the only two in all of Weissland who would have heard her speak her true name. But other avenues were now available. "The ancestor who committed this infidelity, do you recall his name? Did she speak it?" |

Rebecca dug into the recesses of her memories, but the exact name escaped her. "It began with a T," she said. "Timin, or something, I can't remember exactly." |

Nathaniel asked politely "Would the guards who permit people entrance to an audience with you and the King record any information about such comings and goings, your majesty? Or palace servants perhaps." |

Mordain inclined his head towards Nathaniel. "We will need to consult the pages of history, then. Records are kept and the stories of monarchs are always told. If we find the man who committed this... indiscretion, then we will find the family name of this girl. It seems we are left with no other avenues to pursue." |

Mordain shook his head. "No, your majesty. I believe that is all we will need." He looked to Nathaniel. "Anything to add, or shall we leave the Queen to her rest?" |
