“My dear friends, my foot!” Molly scoffed, scowling at Fennic who stood atop Three Frogs like a hideous statue
that existed in one’s deepest and darkest nightmare. “We know that’s you, Belthasar. Come down and tell us what
you’ve done to Artemas before I go up and get it out of you!”
Ulric gently extended a hand in front of Molly, the other holding onto the reins of his horse. “I appreciate your
enthusiasm, Molly, but allow me to handle the negotiations,” he whispered.
Christopher shook his head. “Yeah, Molly, don’t fly into dramatics like usual, at least not until we get information
about Artemas.”
“Oh, and I suppose you have some nifty scientific plan up your sleeve to do just that, Chris. We don’t have time
for this!”
“No, we don’t,” Ulric firmly replied, eyeing Christopher and Molly like a stern parent. “I am well aware of your
skillful handling of Belthasar in the past, but for the moment, I will manage things.”
“Sorry, Ulric,” Christopher muttered.
Molly nodded. “You’re right. We’ll put a sock in it for now.”
“Thank you.”
Fennic gazed down upon the small gathering and laughed. “Dissension among the troops, Ulric? Perhaps King
Rupert’s finest are a bit ragged around the edges. It’s no shame to admit defeat.”
