"By your leave, my father, I cannot agree," Magnus said. Rod stared, a morsel of

meat halfway to his mouth on the tip of his knife. "Agree? What's there to agree

about? The Duke of Loguire is building up his army! That's a matter of fact, not

opinion!"

"Aye." Geoffrey laid down his spoon, scowling at his brother. "Dost say the

King's agent lie? Then hie thee to the South thyself and witness with thine own

eyes!"

"I do not doubt the report," Magnus said. "I cannot agree that 'tis a threat."

Rod frowned. "Why?" He ignored the alarm and warning plea in his wife's eyes and

pressed on. "You know Duke Anselm fronted as the figurehead in a rebellion

twenty-five years ago. Frankly, I think his brother was a fool to let him

inherit when their father died, even if Tuan is king."
"Surely that was for Their Majesties to decide, not thyself."

"Unfortunately, yes-and I think my worries are proving true. Anselm's planning

to rebel again."

"That," Magnus said, "is opinion-and 'tis there that I cannot agree."

"Why, thou great loon!" Geoffrey erupted. "Dost think he gathers soldiers only

to play with them?"
