Speaker 1: M I bid. Welcome to General cooland commander of the
Speaker 1: armies of the Empire. Where is the governor? My husband,
Speaker 1: Lord oss Man, will be with us shortly, as well
Speaker 1: our dear friends, the governors of our neighboring provinces. Your
Speaker 1: officers can wait here, Come stay here. M hm. Do
Speaker 1: you like the chandeliers, the finest crystal. We had them
Speaker 1: especially made in winter and brought here, very delicate. It
Speaker 1: quite an enterprise, actually by sea, then on the back
Speaker 1: of a camel across the desert, and amazingly no brickages anything. General,
Speaker 1: here in the provinces we are much less formal than
Speaker 1: in the great city. Yes, well, ask why you did
Speaker 1: not bring your goods through to Muan Bay. My husband says,
Speaker 1: the import taxes so high when goods come through to
Speaker 1: men Bay. Supposed I shouldn't say such a thing to you, General,
Speaker 1: but it's no secret as it really. We already pay
Speaker 1: so many taxes to the Sultan. Why should he take
Speaker 1: it all? Don't you feel the same? General, All this,
Speaker 1: your husband's positioned, this palace, the very provincy governments is
Speaker 1: all at the discretion of the Sultan and the Sultan alone. Now, General,
Speaker 1: we all know that's not true, don't we. The Sultan
Speaker 1: is nothing without the provincial governors. They serve each those interests. Oh,
Speaker 1: here you are, m I hope you will be comfortable here,
Speaker 1: my lord? Come? What is this? Oh? I thought you
Speaker 1: might like a little company after your long march with
Speaker 1: all your horses and men. The empire is at war.
Speaker 1: I've come here to gather the provincial armies. Your husband
Speaker 1: should be here reporting to me. Get him, yes, of course,
Speaker 1: But get him and you tell him and all the
Speaker 1: other governors to report to my camp immediately. Now get
Speaker 1: out of my site. General, governors here were in your tent.
Speaker 1: Commander Gulan your grace. Firstly, let me apologize for my lateness.
Speaker 1: I had meant to meet you at the gates, but
Speaker 1: I got called away on business. I hope my good
Speaker 1: wife provided you with a warm welcome to our humble home.
Speaker 1: Where are your men? Don't worry, they will be here
Speaker 1: ready to serve our Sultan. General. How is our good friend,
Speaker 1: the Sultan? Where are the other provincial governors? You need
Speaker 1: to relax, Commander, Remember you are my guest here. I've
Speaker 1: organized a banquet to night in the Great Hall. Forget
Speaker 1: the banquet we will meet here at camp at sunset.
Speaker 1: Send me your masters. I want to see it before
Speaker 1: we meet. But yes, under whose authority the Sultan can
Speaker 1: I see it? See what your authority? Sergeant thank Governor
Speaker 1: Ushman to see the Sultan seal. This is exactly why
Speaker 1: Tummby has allowed Maya to flourish. I bid welcome to
Speaker 1: the governors of the Eastern and Southern provinces, and also
Speaker 1: to the commanders of the border regiments. I have news.
Speaker 1: The garrison town of Cariber has fallen to Maya's forces.
Speaker 1: She's on the move. The war has begun, and I
Speaker 1: have been looking at your master's and they are a disgrace.
Speaker 1: You are all got used to peace. You have not
Speaker 1: kept up your records, Governor Usman, you don't even have
Speaker 1: a glimmering of the number of men fighting age in
Speaker 1: your district. Never mind oxen, horses and camels and foodstuffs.
Speaker 1: The army leads arrows by the hundred thousand, and you
Speaker 1: are supposed to keep a ready supply. With respect General Coulan,
Speaker 1: the Sultan seems quite happy with the taxes we raised
Speaker 1: for him. And besides, haven't these threats been rather exaggerated?
Speaker 1: The General. Of course, readiness should be our watch. Please
Speaker 1: do assure the Sultan of our support, but we would
Speaker 1: like in return be assured of what do you expect? General?
Speaker 1: These are not men. They are fat, pink grub that
Speaker 1: you put on a hook cruise to catch fish. Who
Speaker 1: do you think you are, young man? Yes? Who are you?
Speaker 1: I am Wolf? I come from the hill country with
Speaker 1: my cavalry for centuries we have fought for Tuman Bay.
Speaker 1: I summoned you, but I didn't know if you would come.
Speaker 1: We don't come at any man's care. We come when
Speaker 1: we want to for the fight. And Maya the grim
Speaker 1: is an enemy worthy of our time, unlike these grubs.
Speaker 1: So what do you want me to do with him?
Speaker 1: Hang them? Waste of good rope? Stop him? I demand
Speaker 1: to do something, General coolan very well, that one, commander Wolf,
Speaker 1: the fat one. You say he's a grub. Spit him
Speaker 1: on your no. No, please, I am the governor of
Speaker 1: the province at your service, General, take that away. The
Speaker 1: rest of you. You listen to me. Your masters will
Speaker 1: be complete within three days. Three days after that you
Speaker 1: will deliver men and all supplies. If not, each one
Speaker 1: of you will fight himself on the hook as well.
Speaker 1: Any questions good now, Commander Wolf, I would like to
Speaker 1: inspect some men who are ready to fight Tuman by
Speaker 1: episode five Stranglehold by John Drydon. They say, if you
Speaker 1: want peace, you should prepare for war. But what happens
Speaker 1: when your enemy offers your piece? Perhaps then you should
Speaker 1: remember that the most beautiful flowers have the sharpest thorns.
Speaker 1: Just one pet, yes, your majesty, just one, That's all
Speaker 1: that is required. H Ah, Your Highness, I have some views. Yes, yes, God,
Speaker 1: smell this. It's a um wonderful, delightful. H it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be terrible. One sip of it and you would
Speaker 1: be dead. Isn't that the right doctor? Without a doubt,
Speaker 1: your majesty, without a doubt. Yes, I have something I
Speaker 1: need to tell you. This here, Your excellency sniffles. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's her, it's yes, but put the two together,
Speaker 1: and oh, yes, it's very good, your highness. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: the balance of the opposing forces. It's like you and Gregor.
Speaker 1: As long as we can keep the balance, well, your Highness,
Speaker 1: I have found a way to do that. It's good news.
Speaker 1: This so called Queen Maya. She wants to negotiate. What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Well, I have my contacts, of
Speaker 1: course I do. It's my job. She wants to send
Speaker 1: a delegation to two men bay to negotiate, beg more
Speaker 1: like for mercy, No doubt. She's heard about our armies
Speaker 1: marching out to the provinces. She's awed by our Sultan's power.
Speaker 1: Let her beg me in person, tell that her delegation. Yes,
Speaker 1: your managed to keep them waiting. The bitch, who does
Speaker 1: she think she is? Shall I get the smelling salts?
Speaker 1: I gave her dead husband a province to government. I
Speaker 1: put him there, and now she wants to challenge me magetically?
Speaker 1: Sit down, you tire me. I am sorry, your majesty.
Speaker 1: What is the point of view? I have no point.
Speaker 1: I merely exist. Yes, you merely exist. That's the problem,
Speaker 1: your majesty. I am sorry if I have offended you
Speaker 1: in any way. I am your physician, your health and
Speaker 1: well being. Yes, yes, then shut your mouth. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: your majesty, I am sorry. Yes, yes, I will go
Speaker 1: play a game with him, make them think we are grateful,
Speaker 1: will organize your reception, of course, your majesty, But why
Speaker 1: let them beg us for mercy and then and then
Speaker 1: we'll kill them. Send a message to my first wife
Speaker 1: shall just to attend she will enjoy it. M ha ha, doctor,
Speaker 1: I told you not to disturb me when I'm working.
Speaker 1: What do you want the lady shat is here? Sha? Yes?
Speaker 1: What does she want at this time? I need your help?
Speaker 1: But of course, my lady, are you one with no?
Speaker 1: I have business I need to deal with discreetly. Business.
Speaker 1: There are two ways we can do this. Either we
Speaker 1: can talk in a roundabout way with me saying such
Speaker 1: things as I have a friend who needs help, or
Speaker 1: we could get straight to it. What would you prefer,
Speaker 1: my lady? I we both know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: A woman in my position has many enemies. I need
Speaker 1: to protect myself. I want to talk to you about poison. Poison, lady,
Speaker 1: I am a physician. I know what you are. What
Speaker 1: do you think the Sultan would do if he realized
Speaker 1: he was treated by a slave of the poppy? Does
Speaker 1: it matter if it is discovered afterwards that the victim
Speaker 1: was poisoned? M no, I don't care what happens afterwards.
Speaker 1: That makes it easier. There's something I've been working on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Perfume? You spray it like a perfume.
Speaker 1: You spray it on the face. Simple, surprising, effective m hm.
Speaker 1: The first wife, Shajar ruthless. As far as she's concerned,
Speaker 1: her son could have died in the army. Better a
Speaker 1: dead son than a weak son. I need to be
Speaker 1: ahead of her. I need to move far southern. She
Speaker 1: can move and then stop her. Where is his holiness?
Speaker 1: This way? My lord? What are you doing here? No
Speaker 1: one is supposed to be here. How are your eminence?
Speaker 1: Are they looking after you well? Iraq? The best I
Speaker 1: hear you, like the best I know you. You're our
Speaker 1: guries dog. When there's dirty work to be done, you
Speaker 1: do it. Gregor, your name is Gregory. It's not poisoned.
Speaker 1: I'll drink with stuff. When you gave me here, Russell
Speaker 1: Dan gave you sanctuary. You're the spiritual guide to all believers,
Speaker 1: the Jewel and the sortans Turban. Why would he want
Speaker 1: to kill you? What do you want, Gregor? Just to talk?
Speaker 1: I have no objection? Would it change anything? If I had?
Speaker 1: I thought not? Were you making your way here? A
Speaker 1: long journey and hard too? And were you alone? Alone?
Speaker 1: Just me and bellow, bellow, my priest, my lord and
Speaker 1: how did you travel on foot? Yes, and if we
Speaker 1: found a sympathetic traveler, sometimes there was a donkey for
Speaker 1: an old man. And as for resting, the hard ground,
Speaker 1: so cold, the nights so cold, and your burden, burden,
Speaker 1: the things you carried with you, no, no, nothing. I
Speaker 1: had to leave quickly. There was no time, not time
Speaker 1: at all. Bellow, tell him there was nothing we talk, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: not any little keepsake to ensure you have a warm
Speaker 1: welcome wherever you might end up. Nothing, nothing, We were
Speaker 1: wonderers on the face of the cold. Is that not so, Bellow?
Speaker 1: It is as you say, eminence, wisdom was our only fraid,
Speaker 1: as the poet has it. But now you've come to
Speaker 1: rest unfortunately. Well, I should take no more of your time.
Speaker 1: A blessing perhaps before I go, Yes, yes, go, and
Speaker 1: being give the fortune God, But just in case God
Speaker 1: withholds his gifts. It is wise, is it not to
Speaker 1: take what may not be given? And you are generally
Speaker 1: accounted a wise man, are you not? Bellow, will see
Speaker 1: you out? Or a drunk m my Lord. In our
Speaker 1: holy books there is a verse about the wise sortan
Speaker 1: who does not venture into the dark without a lantern.
Speaker 1: So that when he needs, he may see what is
Speaker 1: hidden and what he is hidden, Master Priest, many things,
Speaker 1: but that wise or time with the lamb may find
Speaker 1: them out and be well rewarded for his full sign.
Speaker 1: He might hope, so you might hush, Master Priest, it's
Speaker 1: merely a rat. They are everywhere here. He is the thing.
Speaker 1: Service and betrayal, rewards and punishments. Serve me well, bellow,
Speaker 1: and you would prosper serve me ill, Good night, lamplighter.
Speaker 1: You see it spins like this. No, this is to
Speaker 1: advance for her. How old is your child? She's just
Speaker 1: the debut and something soft like this. I went to
Speaker 1: your house, he said, I would find you here. What
Speaker 1: is this? It is? What it is, your excellency. I'm
Speaker 1: touched by your devotion to that ask I gave you.
Speaker 1: While while she's in my care, she would want for nothing,
Speaker 1: Excellency good. My advice is not to get too close.
Speaker 1: The child will not be with you for long. No,
Speaker 1: of course not. I realized I need your help. Yes,
Speaker 1: a little mystery. Remember the scrolls I described to you.
Speaker 1: Come with me now, But the child is waiting for me.
Speaker 1: When I told you to take care of it, I
Speaker 1: didn't tell you to become its wetness. Come. They all
Speaker 1: look old. That's the whole point of scrolls. That's what
Speaker 1: people want. These artisans, they use every trick in the book.
Speaker 1: But I have a feeling these might be different. What's
Speaker 1: in the market. Just wait, see them and decide. You
Speaker 1: know about these things I don't. This might be an
Speaker 1: opportunity for you. Can I ask you something? Then? What?
Speaker 1: Why are you so interested in them? Do you know
Speaker 1: what I do for the sort of time? I know?
Speaker 1: You're not responsible for his collection of art and calligraphy?
Speaker 1: M hm ah, this is it? How many brothers? No
Speaker 1: one homes all? Why don't we one of them will
Speaker 1: always be here? You're an eccentric couple brothers and believe
Speaker 1: from Yeah. Hello, workshops like these. They're all over tom
Speaker 1: and Bay churning out reproductions. Hello, ah, gentlemen, here we
Speaker 1: are again. I apologize for the intrusion. Your door was open.
Speaker 1: This is my associate. He is a scholar. You might say.
Speaker 1: I brought him with me so that we might examine
Speaker 1: the pieces again, a gentleman, perhaps you would be so
Speaker 1: kind as that that's movie they wait? Wake up, wake up? Oh?
Speaker 1: What was that? The place what are you doing covering
Speaker 1: onr face? Those aren't playing pustules. There was a struggle
Speaker 1: here and then they were carefully propped back up onto
Speaker 1: their chairs. Pison must have happened recently. No sign of bloating.
Speaker 1: Yet you would be a wiser man not to ask
Speaker 1: what about the scrolls? They won't be here anymore. That
Speaker 1: moment is past. Come, it's better not to be discovered here.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have come. I shouldn't have come, pretty, hide
Speaker 1: your face. I should have warned nor what she wanted
Speaker 1: me to go to see that feast? She wanted to
Speaker 1: delay me so she could do her work here. And
Speaker 1: this this woman, whoever she is, You think she has
Speaker 1: the scrolls? Now of that? I am certain. Look at
Speaker 1: the market. It's busy and full of life. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: But have you ever seen a bee hive when it's dying.
Speaker 1: It looks busy, but the bees are anglers. No, I haven't,
Speaker 1: But I don't understand when the queen's dead. The bees
Speaker 1: are everywhere flying around. To the outside observer, it looks
Speaker 1: as though the higher is healthy, but it's not. It's
Speaker 1: dying because the heart of it is dead and it
Speaker 1: just doesn't know it yet come back to your home,
Speaker 1: take care of the baby. You will hear from me
Speaker 1: in du course sha ja. That's the trouble with ex lovers.
Speaker 1: They know you too well, and no one has the
Speaker 1: capacity to hate you quite like an ex lover. Who
Speaker 1: is it my learning? I need to talk to you.
Speaker 1: My maid isn't here. Please come back later when I
Speaker 1: can receive you properly. I'm afraid that it's not possible.
Speaker 1: The Sutan sent me, Yes, may I come in? It
Speaker 1: would be easier. Wait one moment. It is quite inappropriate
Speaker 1: for you to come here to my quarters without an appointment. Yes,
Speaker 1: my apology is well, yes, you said the Sultan. Yes,
Speaker 1: this peace delegation from my The Sultan asked me to
Speaker 1: inform you that your presence will be required at the
Speaker 1: reception tonight. Is that all? Yes? Then I will be there.
Speaker 1: Good good. There was just one other thing, yes, greg Or,
Speaker 1: what of him? I was hoping you might know of
Speaker 1: his whereabouts? And why would that be? No reason except
Speaker 1: will weren't you close ones? Now? Now, cad Ali, I
Speaker 1: didn't think you were the sort of man to listen
Speaker 1: to idle gossip. No, not idle gossip. I am the
Speaker 1: Sultan's chief wife. My husband is all my delight, always
Speaker 1: has been and always will be. Everything I do is
Speaker 1: for him, of course, of course, But you and Gregor
Speaker 1: I serve one master Cadali, the Sultan, as do we all.
Speaker 1: I was merely inquired after Gregor. After all, he's been
Speaker 1: rooting out the spies here in the palace. Is keeping
Speaker 1: us all safe? Well he's not here, my point, precisely,
Speaker 1: he never seems to be around. I want to believe
Speaker 1: he has rooted out all the spies. I wouldn't know
Speaker 1: about anything like that. Well, no, no, you wouldn't. We
Speaker 1: can but trust that Gregor is doing his job the
Speaker 1: sort and trusts him. That's good enough for me. Well,
Speaker 1: I must be off, goodbye, my lady. Of course, if
Speaker 1: Gregor himself were disloyal in any way, m hmm what way? Precisely,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He talks to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's his job, watching everyone, looking for spies. As
Speaker 1: you say, but who watches the spy catcher? Just be
Speaker 1: vigil it, Virgilance, especially now with all that is happening.
Speaker 1: Better to be suspicious than to you're shure, But my lady, yes,
Speaker 1: put it down. There is there anything else, madam? No,
Speaker 1: go wait, yes, tell the wardrobe master the time to
Speaker 1: attend a reception tonight. Yes, my lady. So this delegation,
Speaker 1: it may mean everything, it may mean nothing, but we
Speaker 1: have to show our unity, our might. You are the queen,
Speaker 1: where your best jewels? What do they want? They say
Speaker 1: they want peace? And what do you think they want? Cadi? Well,
Speaker 1: perhaps we are like the child on his birthday morning,
Speaker 1: waiting for his present, and there it is all wrapped up.
Speaker 1: What is it? He can barely wait? He unwraps it,
Speaker 1: he reaches in. Is it a beautiful model cannon that
Speaker 1: you will be able to? It is model soldiers? Or
Speaker 1: is it the deadly scorpion? Where are you going? I
Speaker 1: have some duties to attend to for my lady. Go
Speaker 1: to my rooms, my lord, you heard me. I have
Speaker 1: some news your baby. Mh you are serving your lady? Well,
Speaker 1: what news of my child? You will come to that?
Speaker 1: Has something happened? Just said we need to talk. We
Speaker 1: will talk about what I want to talk about. First,
Speaker 1: all right, sit, nothing to worry about. I prefer being
Speaker 1: down here. It's peaceful, No one will disturb us. Two
Speaker 1: man bear is under attack. There is grave danger from
Speaker 1: this maya, my lord, not by her armies. General Coolan
Speaker 1: will see to that. I'm talking about an enemy within.
Speaker 1: I am responsible for that, my lord. If you think that,
Speaker 1: what do I think that I am? Are you? No?
Speaker 1: I'm a slave, my lord. You put me in her
Speaker 1: lady's chamber. I am loyal to you. I have reason
Speaker 1: to believe that Lady Shajar is hiding something, something that
Speaker 1: may harm us. I need you to search for them.
Speaker 1: What are they? Two scrolls? About so long? They've been restored,
Speaker 1: ornately decorated in a jeweled box. I've seen them, you have.
Speaker 1: She brought them back from the market. She keeps them
Speaker 1: in there. Yes, that's all right. I don't need to
Speaker 1: know where they are. I just need you to bring
Speaker 1: them to me. But how take them when she's not there?
Speaker 1: And when she discovers there, I'm missing. I only want
Speaker 1: to see them for a short while and then you
Speaker 1: can return them. I can't. She keeps them in the
Speaker 1: safe and get the key. She carries it with her
Speaker 1: on her gold chain. I saw your child today. How
Speaker 1: is she worry about that man? The one is looking
Speaker 1: after her for you? Worry? Why? I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's taking proper care of her. She cries a lot.
Speaker 1: She's looking very thin. I wonder if he's feeding her.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you would like me to intervene, of course, anything
Speaker 1: to help. If the wild were to die, I could
Speaker 1: never forget. I'm bringing you the scrolls. Good now, both
Speaker 1: of us need to be somewhere else. Ah late, antly
Speaker 1: you are, But as it happens, so are they busy
Speaker 1: catching spies, and the work goes on. Excuse me, Cadi,
Speaker 1: are you there? Good? They have arrived and up being
Speaker 1: escorted through the imperial gates by the palace guard. You
Speaker 1: appear to be spending more time outside the palace than in,
Speaker 1: greg Or, What do you have out there? A secret family?
Speaker 1: I love? The security of the palace requires a long
Speaker 1: reach day. And yes, if I have to work day
Speaker 1: and night in the service of my sortan, that is
Speaker 1: my honor. Of course. Well, it is a great honor
Speaker 1: for all to serve under such a wise and benevolent ruler.
Speaker 1: It is it is. Why are we laughing? You laughed? First?
Speaker 1: We are very like you and I, Gregor. We don't
Speaker 1: have wives, we don't have children. We live only for
Speaker 1: the glory of two men by and we are ambitious too.
Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate things have not worked out for you
Speaker 1: or your brother so well, clearly Mayer is defeated. Or
Speaker 1: why has she sent her envoy to beggars for mercy?
Speaker 1: That is my triumph, a triumph of diplomacy. Well, you've
Speaker 1: been sneaking around the palace doing well. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what you've been doing. And your brother, the Great General,
Speaker 1: has been wasting his time in the provinces building an
Speaker 1: army that isn't required. I have been ah here. Welcome, welcome,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to tuman Bay. If endy red take the reins, yes,
Speaker 1: this is her, rather me go welcome one fat man,
Speaker 1: a spy catcher, a bunch of slaves. Well, after last time,
Speaker 1: perhaps we are a little less open hearted. How is
Speaker 1: your Queen Maya? Let's get on with us. Where is
Speaker 1: the Sultan? All in good time, All in good time?
Speaker 1: Come come, you will excuse me. I have business elsewhere.
Speaker 1: And have you found your master's spy yet? What isn't
Speaker 1: that what you're looking for? I think you have been misinformed, Sir,
Speaker 1: your gregor, head of the palace guard. I am come
Speaker 1: and talk to me if you want to know things.
Speaker 1: What things. Come and talk to me. I can save
Speaker 1: you time and effort. It doesn't matter to us anymore.
Speaker 1: Excuse me through here. If Endy read yes, your men
Speaker 1: can wait here, Officer, I see that they're made comfortable. Certainly, excellency,
Speaker 1: would you like to follow the egg? I see you
Speaker 1: have brought no gifts with you this time. M you
Speaker 1: know the palace? Well, it seems you know what time
Speaker 1: we get up, what we have for lunch, what we do.
Speaker 1: You are like a conjurer. You conjure up illusions for us,
Speaker 1: and we, like children at a party, are supposed to
Speaker 1: believe that you have these great powers. You are right.
Speaker 1: I have no power at all. I'm merely the messenger
Speaker 1: for my queen, and I only know what my informance
Speaker 1: told me. I rely entirely on the quality of their information.
Speaker 1: Their future depends on it. Their future depends on his
Speaker 1: Excellency Gregor. If he finds them, they have no future.
Speaker 1: I don't think you saw the Sultan's fine collection of
Speaker 1: ancient sculptures last time. They're just in here. Some are
Speaker 1: very old. They depict the gods of ancient times, before
Speaker 1: men knew there was but one god. I want to
Speaker 1: see the Sultan, not his stones, of course, of course,
Speaker 1: and he wants to see you that we have prepared
Speaker 1: some light refreshments for you here after such a long journey.
Speaker 1: I don't need anything, and just wait here. We have
Speaker 1: arranged well, a little entertainment for your amusement, some local
Speaker 1: flavor our custom enjoy. Mm hmm it's hot enough, yes,
Speaker 1: my lady. More ungents pour it in here. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: City is so empty now with all the soldiers gone.
Speaker 1: It's quieter. Two must be all the men who make
Speaker 1: the noise. What's the marketplace like? It's a quieter there too.
Speaker 1: I haven't been to the market. No, don't go out.
Speaker 1: You don't have any friends that you meet. Yes, In
Speaker 1: the end, it all comes down to who your friends
Speaker 1: are and to loyalty. You remember what I said about loyalty, Yes,
Speaker 1: my lady. It's important that you look after your own
Speaker 1: people and that you know you can count on them.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when you first came to me what
Speaker 1: I said? What did I say? You said, if I
Speaker 1: was loyal, you'd be kind to me. And if you're
Speaker 1: not loyal, do you remember what I said? I think
Speaker 1: you said you would be unkind to me. No, I
Speaker 1: think I said you would suffer like you've never suffered before.
Speaker 1: I see you watching me. H. You keep a close
Speaker 1: watch on me, of course, my lady, of course, to
Speaker 1: serve me better. Yes, but you are being watched too,
Speaker 1: you know, my lady. I don't know, my lady. No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. Now. You can go
Speaker 1: and prepare my dress. Should it be the blue silk
Speaker 1: or the goldbners have to meet a peace delegation. We
Speaker 1: will have to make decisions in this world, don't Yes,
Speaker 1: my lady, you slavery? Who mess? You can't be someone
Speaker 1: I can talk to. Yes, of course, but why don't
Speaker 1: you relax? Don't tell me what to do, your excellency,
Speaker 1: how are you enjoying the entertainment? I don't care for it.
Speaker 1: I will speak to the Sultan and I will speak
Speaker 1: to him now. His Majesty Sultan Algori is eager to
Speaker 1: see too. Let me huh, gregor, the Sultan apologizes for
Speaker 1: keeping you waiting affairs of state. Please follow me after
Speaker 1: you offended? Where do you come from, Sarah? With your

Speaker 1: instructed me to inform you that she will withdraw her
Speaker 1: armies and cease all hostilities. Queen Maya good on these conditions. Conditions?

Speaker 1: reliquary and that the Huffies, currently under your protection comes
Speaker 1: with us. He will live in Maya's court under her
Speaker 1: protection and be her spiritual guide. This reliquy we have
Speaker 1: no knowledge of it. It is our information that the
Speaker 1: reliquary was carried out from Bakur by the Huffies. Bakur
Speaker 1: is now under myas protection. It was therefore stolen from us.

Speaker 1: come now? Or was he Perhaps it was something that
Speaker 1: just gave him a belly ache, and he was never
Speaker 1: in any danger at all. Perhaps this has all been
Speaker 1: an illusion. It is the pairing of the nail of
Speaker 1: the smallest finger of Maya's left hand. If she really
Speaker 1: wanted human be she would take it. All she wants
Speaker 1: is the reliquary who found her one of the unux. Excellency,
