"I do Would you like so to eat?" It was late and the kitchen staff had already left Nobody working in the kitchen lived in the palace now--Arvil had decided against it Only the housekeeping staff stayed in the basement The wizards had the first floor, since they were our defense if so the walls
Farzi was hungry, as were Nenzi and the others They’d come in shortly before I did I made a dish with fowl, mushrooms and sauce inside a flaky pastry Farzi loved potatoes, so I made some for him in the zapper Potatoes cook well there and it takes no time at all All the reptanoids loved chocolate so a quick cake with a swirl of cara over it caood Ever" Nenzi liked his dinner
"Nenzi, I never had such a wonderful driver before" I sat next to hi He looked atme a wide sot a plate
"My restaurants are doing better and ru hired is also very good He keeps me advised on this" Well, I expected Arvil to have eyes and ears everywhere He probably watched everything on a vid screen so new fields?" He turned to Farzi
"Not yet, friend Arvil We go out again next eight-day" Farzi was tired--I could see that for s have been ruined"
"I know this I do what I can" Farzi rose, causing the other reptanoids to rise with him "We retire" Farzi nodded respectfully to Arvil
I put the dishes into the dishwasher after Arvil left the kitchen right behind Farzi I think he wanted a privatewith him, but I wasn’t about to stick et theether, so Haral and one of the others can get rid of theet them out of the way, somehow" Delvin held up a hand as he spoke to the other wizards "Arvil should have designated one of us as the heir--if notfor hi Yet he gives everything away to those two"
"It was your idea to bring the girl along, if I recall" Milus snorted at Delvin’s logic
"Only to protect us froure out ant San Gerxon’s stake in all this They’ll ith San Gerxon, because they have for years As far as the girl and that carpenter go, we don’t kno Wilffin will react to that We’ll have to get rid of those two, and then get San Gerxon to go with us, instead We can take over quickly after that"
"You think San Gerxon will do this? I irl because ere afraid Jazal would find a way to kill his brother and we’d be forced out by Wilffin’s warlocks She was our insurance--you said she could protect us against their attacks" Haral spoke, now
"She can She has soainst physical attacks--just spells and s," Delvin explained
"I’ve only heard of a few races that had so like that," Carthin, the red-haired wizard, pointed out
"She otten some blood somewhere, froet into an argument over this He’d made a false proe, but he’d betrayed a better friend in Bel Reah and Bel had both saved his life, but that didn’tto his own future and he wanted it to be as a casino owner on Campiaa, with a fir ventures
Delvin wanted everything that Arvil San Gerxon had San Gerxon had initially convinced the High Corow Drakus seed in the desert, and Delvin, Bel and the other Ranger wizards hadn’t known at first that Arvil was involved When San Gerxon appeared on Mandil after the spaere eli for additional wizards anywhere he could find theuard San Gerxon, had leapt at the offer Arvil h on Mandil--there was a wide universe out there, just waiting for him and his talent to conquer Now it looked as if a sirl and a carpenter stood in his way
"Wilffin isn’t scheduled to be back for two eight-days at least Plenty of tiets anywhere--all we have to do is make them unconscious, so people--he’d done it too many times to mention With him, rape caet rid of any incri evidence He’d transport his victim to a deserted planet and duet poison Make sure it’s a good one," Carthin grurinned Delvin watched those two--they’d be his biggest co for himself
"I know all of you used to be casino owners on Campiaa" Norian sat opposite Erland Morphis, Adaer have any interests on Caround ehere--to Le-Ath Veronis" Erland sounded bored
