The old man nodded as he set to work preparing the ritual.  "Yes, her husband's wedding ring would be far more fitting," he said with a small laugh.  "And of course, once the ritual's finished you'll be able to see her reaction when she sees what's happened... and when she sees who it was that led her to us in the first place."  By this point he could barely contain his laughter at the situation, but managed to calm down after a few moments.  "As for who gets control of her... my master has requested the princess himself.  I don't know what he plans to do with her, but he was fairly excited about the idea of having one of the nobles under his control.  He was the one that gave us the ritual, actually."<br/><br/>A few moments later, the other two cultists came back, saying that they had finished securing the princess.  The man nodded and brought his supplies over to Alinia and began casting the binding spell.
