"Yes."<br/><br/>Valere's voice was soft and muted as she carried a grave secret. Stepping closer to the Ritter Hex so she could confer in confidence she spoke to him.<br/><br/>"Eloran, Head of the Ritter Hex, there is a plot to kill your King."<br/><br/>Hopefully Eloran would have the composure to remain passive as the Comtesse did not want to unease the King in his sickness, it was a risk she had to take as any where else in the castle would have risked exposing her to those parties that would threaten his Lordship. It would also allow Eloran to broach the subject with his King to see what could be done.<br/><br/>"I do not know much; but something is planned for today. Take this Ritter Hex."<br/><br/>With those words she offered up the ring she had clutched.<br/><br/>"My father made no deal with devils, he was as staunch in his defiance against the devil's work as you are Eloran. Take his ring, it will protect its bearer and allow them to fight with boldness and bravery against the evil of the world."
