"It did." Amara said with satisfaction, smiling. "I managed to convince her to swear, upon her True Name, to serve me for the entirety of my life, even if I die and am returned to life."<br/><br/>She considered that fact with satisfaction for a moment, then focused on the General, her self-satisfaction vanishing. "Now then...there are several things to address, I suppose. I need to send Kysanni to get what I can of the Royal Guard here, and let my parents know I still live and what I'm doing. To do that, though, we need to take control of the leaders here in the city. Which brings to mind a question. Without the geas, would you be willing to swear loyalty to me? Xandria has broken the Queen to her will, so even if I was gone, she'll be under the thumb of Xandria. The question is...would you swear to me? I do not wish to rule entirely by magical compulsion, and I like you."
