Could you tell us something about Lord Shadmyr?Secretary: I think I could. What do you want to know?Odilbert: Good question. Well, I'm not from here, and I'd like to know how he became ruler of Ashford. I mean, he's not a king, is he?Secretary: No, actually the Lord substitutes King Magnus Greengelding who disappeared about eight years ago.Odilbert: Now that sounds interesting.Secretary: The whole Greengelding family was wiped out by a magical explosion or something. Young Magnus was the only survivor, so he became King.Secretary: King Magnus was about to marry Princess Victoria Selvan of Ulthia two years later, but he disappeared just before the wedding. Odilbert: Oh, I understand. I'm sorry for the Princess. And for the people, of course.Secretary: I don't know about Lord Shadmyr's past, as I was employed some years later. But he promised to take care for the kingdom and search for the King. And that was final. Odilbert: I see. Thank you very much, you've already helped us a lot. But one more question, do you think that Lord Shadmyr behaves kinda strange sometimes? Secretary: Well, now that you've mentioned it... He breeds locusts. Odilbert: And what about his... reign? Secretary: Well, just between you and me, it seems to me like he cares rather for the country itself than for the people. Odilbert: Thank you very much.If you're looking for some news, you should go to town. There's a guy who calls himself the Ankleman or something like that. He can tell you everything.
