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…
