The Court Mage's True Visage

The questions he came to ask King Uuthli'vlos were addressed to Vhol'drokk, not whoever this younger king was. But that was beside the point, now.

His anger was still roiling under the surface, because he had a feeling this new king was just like the old one, if not worse. But he didn't want to take risks.

The court mage was an unknown factor. This new king was another.

And wherever was fogging the old king's mind was a third one.

With all these questions and no answers, Astaroth didn't feel like he should poke the bear. Maybe if he still had access to Royal Protection, he would try prying answers out of them.

But right now, he was still at risk of getting overpowered by the wild card that was the court mage.

Astaroth wondered what question he should ask, to not seem suspicious for coming to demand answers and just suddenly leaving.
