Later that afternoon... The Light Warriors, minus one, retire to a guest room at the Castle of Elf...

Red Mage |
It's hard to believe that Thief has been lying to us about his past all this time.
|
Black Mage |
Hard to believe...Have you heard anything that two-faced liar has said since you first met him? I'm still not entirely convinced he is the real prince.
|
Black Mage |
Knowing him, he could've set up that pillow thing weeks in advance to discredit that doctor. He's a liar and a cheat.
|
Fighter |
I know what you mean, Red Mage. Thief has always been such a forthright and noble leader. I must admit, I am shaken to my core that such an outstanding, morally unchallenged individual could have been lying to us.
|
Black Mage |
In the sense that he has no morals with which to be challenged, I guess you almost have a point.
|
Black Mage |
He's only on our team in the first place because someone was too stupid to read the contract Thief wrote up.
|
Fighter |
Tsk! White Mage should be more careful!
|
Beat
|
Black Mage |
I will laugh for a week straight when I finally kill you.
|
Meanwhile, in the Royal Room of Royalty..
|
Astos |
Blast that Prince Elf. And blast that accursed doctor!
|
Astos |
How could I have known that the prince took it upon himself to venture into non-elf lands to seek a fortune to help find a cure for the mysterious illness that had befallen his father? It seems only Dr. Malpractice knew of the prince's intentions. The doctor then faked the prince's illness so I would bribe him to make sure that the prince never recovered so I could take over Elfland with a bloodless coup!
|
Astos |
And all the while he was putting the prince's ill-gotten gains into his own bank account! That blasted doctor played us both for fools and made a fortune. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the rightful heir to the throne a mere two days before I was slated to take over! If only I could dispose of him in some convenient and untraceable manner. Ah, here here comes now...
|
Thief |
Excuse me, Chancellor. I didn't mean to interrupt your inner monologue to which I am not privy. I have a question about the Royal Crown of Royalty.
|
Astos |
Of course, the crown!
