Lord Darius looked out the window of the palace overlooking the Hill district. His face showed anger.

His wife, Countess Rachel was sitting in a comfortable armchair. Darius, there is nothing you can do, stop torturing yourself. The adventurers did what was right. You cannot blame yourself. The Bird of Radigast escaped you and there is nothing you can do right now.

Yes I can! I should have demanded that she be brought back dead! This being nice didnt work and now shes still out there!

Darius, this is not the way of our people; murder for hire is not what we do, nor would I support it. Even when the evidence is overwhelming

Darius remained silent for a few moments as he looked outside. She is out there plotting her revenge and trying to bring down all the good things we are trying to do. She

Darius, stop. We will have other opportunity to arrest and bring her in. You did your best but she bested you. She has been evading my Knights, adventurers, and you for so long. We will live to stop her another day

The Lord Chamberlain turned to face his wife. You are right dear You are always right. We will catch her another day.

Someone knocked at the door and Lord Marcus Alan Dane entered with his wife. Lord Darius helped his prematurely aged father to take a seat. Lady Seylia sat next to her husband. You two seem like you were arguing. She said.

Darius will not let go of the fact that he tried his best and yet the Bird of Radigast escaped. Her Noble Brilliancy said.

Thats him Always trying to be the savior of the universe! Darius, learn to let your people work for you. Those adventurers caught her once. They will catch her again.

Exactly what Ive been trying to tell him, but he wont let go! exclaimed the Countess.
