Highest Demand



He was around eighth in line for the throne. He asked me if a freak wind could appear and sink a ship on demand. I explained that magic was illegal throughout the Kingdom, and thus such a wind would be costly.

We haggled for a bit, but I was insistent on being paid in rubies. He eventually paid up.

A week later, a freak wind appeared and sank the Royal Ship.

The New King’s third new law was that owning rubies was now illegal.

He shouldn’t have given me an hour before sending guards though. The black market works fast…
