Shortbread With Ghiraradelli

blow, body, parades, for three long days Katona devoted himself to hone his skills with the meager weapons along with West, his ruthless mentor. He could not understand why, after every battle, the muscles of the legs and arms ached so much that it tears while West appeared fresh as a daisy, and this was fitted to the young princes to make an anger that, after clash clash, more determined to beat him, it was just for once.
The first day he showed to the whole castle is not at all led to fight with the sword, even his father had gone to attend the event extraordinary, the Prince drew the sword that Katona was certainly not an ordinary show.
the second day of workouts saw the prince minor fight with his father, nobles and high dignitaries of the court noticed immediately by the West was urging his friend to fight with courage and strength. His Majesty had revealed a swordsman still in form, having beaten his son received the applause of the spectators; Katona defile it in her room, pondering the tiniest possibility that a murderer had to defeat in a duel.
Katona On the third day he succeeded, after considerable efforts, to hit the West in the arm, but was quickly defeated by the attack of his next: the Prince had attacked, but West had saved and hit him in the stomach with a fist firmly. Katona fell to the floor gasping and coughing violently.
"You fought like mad dogs, Katona.
If you want to tap into the anger that you have in your body to fight all right, but do it with his head. "
" I've thrown a punch ... "Protested Katona panting for the blow.
"Yes, mica not believe that the killers are men of honor, right? "The young
thought for a few minutes on the words of a friend, you certainly could not blame him.
He abhorred the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving to conduct a duel, let alone in a manner so subtle and yet he knew it was the only chance he had.
did not care of the other heralds, in that moment his priority was to defeat the murderer before he could commit other murders.
Katona sheathed sword. It was almost time to go.

The site chosen was precisely the same where the herald of Corinne had showed three days earlier. The sun was high in the sky and the air temperature was pleasantly warm for early spring, the forest was animating the little animals in prison food, the birds and their song, the life that he woke up after the long winter.
Katona and West arrived on time, you could hear the afternoon three strokes of the bell tower, just as the murderer had asked ...
When the prince and captain of the guards had returned to the castle Katona a waitress handed a sealed envelope with the black wax, the prince was left in his apartment, along with West, he had open reading so that the murderer met before had provided the information for the next meeting.
"Our men can not be seen. "Said West dismounted from his horse.
"must surely be a reason for this delay. "Said the friend Katona looking apprehensive.
From a reliable source - an old maid who had worked on both with love - was recently discovered that the young captain of the guards used to dine together Checkers Felia, widow of Count Gunfrast, killed during the Battle of the Desert. Not that it bothered him, indeed, was very pleased that West had finally started to put my head straight, what worried him was the involvement of his friend in Ragnarok.
If something had happened to him if he would ever be forgiven. Then he flashed to mind one thing that the captain had said after his meeting with the Seer. If indeed the poor old man could see into the future, then ...
He tried to return to his principal thoughts, was not the time for celebration for some things, his priority was the murderer, in any way earn their trust and then hit him from behind.
"Forgive my delay My work often exposes me to the mishap. "The herald
Corinne finally came to the prince and captain of the guards. In a nutshell
explained to them that the city was another herald, and that their task was to get him out of the scene as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary clashes with their goddesses.
"Wait, even if we might become allies, and Corinne Roriath remain at the end, the final battle.
can I be sure that you will try to get me to do the same end of the other preachers? "
" Prince, come on, so m'offendete. Once there will be only two of them, our task is finished, it will be to our Lord to fight, we will not have more do anything. »Katona
the fixed puzzled, he did not trust.
'Show us the street. "Sighed the young princes alongside his friend. The
Sicario smirked and carried on, did not speak for the entire duration of the short trip West was concentrated to observe the slightest movement of the gunman, Katona lost in thought. In the city took side streets and narrow lanes.
"Further ahead we expect our target for detecting I suggested that we could be allies. Obviously it will not, do not look sideways. "
" Provided that you can be trusted. "Insinuated West.

The square where the gunman had decided of her appointment was empty, you could not see anyone walking or who passed by chance.
Shiree is tormented by his hands, he was buffing the speech over and over again during those three days, only a few sentences: "Iluv not accept, want to fight with Corinne, now, immediately." Was not so difficult to pronounce.
He looked around, not even a trace of the man. He was upset, scared, but calm prevailed, if something went wrong Iluv would not have been happy, had they promised, would have looked the other world but also to take revenge.
He heard footsteps behind her.
turned slowly, taking my courage in both hands to face the murderer.
was not prepared for the vision that was placed in the eyes.

"Come West, I'll know the Goddess of War, I feel a duty because I have God involved in this senseless war. "
" Yes .. sure, and maybe even take tea together. "
" is not helpful to be funny, not in front of her. "
The city streets were crowded and narrow, the market stalls occupied most of the roads. The fair was known throughout the kingdom, was said to be possible to find everything you needed or not: exotic foods, precious materials, jewelry. There were even traders selling mobile in the streets you could find the sellers of candied fruit, vegetables and fruit, dried fruit.
The inns and taverns were full of great vigor and worked in the brothels and women extolled the joys and pleasures of sex to attract customers.
The market for capital was also famous for its long duration, took place once every three months, one for each season, but for seven days and seven nights never closes.
The nights were devoted to feasts and the artists, the minstrels play their tunes, clowns entertained the children while the parents could see some play outside, jugglers and funambolieri they were noticed by the audience with their games.
In the middle of the band of people intent on looking younger and buy the prince and his new faithful bodyguard tried to make his way to get to the religious district.
"We had to come today? Was it not better to wait? "Protested West trying not to lose sight of his companion.
"Even if we come tomorrow or in three days would not change anything, better get up the tooth now. "Katon said gently pushing people.
finally arrived at their destination, the temple of Roriath was right in front of them.
Katona within first, made sure with a quick glance that was not present and no one is announced.
West looked skeptical, crossed his arms and raised an eyelid, yet no ghostly goddess had appeared; Katona announced himself again and called Roriath to make his appearance, the captain of the guard began to puff.
'Katona go away, is no point wasting time here. "
" Wasting time? Wait!? Did you really say that!? If I were not a help Katona I'd already stuck with my spear. "The Goddess of War
materialized behind West, staring furiously, while the poor guard had heart sank, there was nobody behind him, he was perfectly safe, as did the woman to approach him without being heard? It was not possible. The observed carefully, it was the same figure of the great statue behind the altar, it was really a god? Katona who was right from the beginning?
"You ... you are ... a goddess? She asked hesitantly, making small compared to the majesty of the divine person.
"No, I'm your mother. "He replied sarcastically Roriath," Of course I'm a Goddess! For whom do you take me for a woman at all? "
" Roriath Met West in Denio, captain of the guards of the royal castle, my bodyguard and my closest friend. Met West
Roriath, Goddess of War 'Katona intervened making the presentations.
"is favored outgoing King "pointed out Roriath approaching the altar of the temple.
"Really? Not one had ever told me. "
" Oh no? Be 'now you know. "
the goddess sat on the marble block, crossing his legs and leaning on his elbows.
"Corinne has made an offer, a proposed alliance. "Said the prince told the child and to detail the meeting with the murderer and their exchange of words.
West, listening casually, it was still thrilled by what had just happened, a deity had appeared in his eyes! To him, that he did not believe in anything that his eyes could not see him, that he had faith in gods.
It had all happened too fast, must necessarily have a dream, a hallucination, Katona was not really talking about a goddess.
Although he had given up pinching pinching did not change that reality, one of his many philosophies of life reads: "Unless I see, I do not think." But West had seen, had not, therefore, more reason not to believe the words of his friend.
It gave the stupid and the infamous, all the time - a year? - Had given Katona crazy because of its history, recently had even thought it was all a ruse to meet with her lover but ...
And to think that his sister Esta had believed the prince immediately. He promised to repay his friend as soon as they had the chance.
"I think it is a trap, but we will accept the opportunity to kill him. Methods that are repugnant to me, but as I said to West, is the only solution I found. "
Roriath nodded satisfied, perhaps it had not made a big mistake in choosing as his herald.

The temperature was beginning to increase, a sign that spring was just around the corner. Do not snowed for a couple of more weeks and the white coat had disappeared almost completely, only in the early morning and evening, the cold came back to reign supreme.
West was strangely silent, said Katona, was not he sit good good silent, tried to attack button, but the guard did not seem to listen, at the end Katona decided to go forward to the castle without speaking. At the courtyard
dismounted from his horse and the groom confided the two beasts, the prince was already heading towards the great West door when it froze.
'West, what is it? "
" Draw your sword and fight. "Said the young captain seriously.
"You're kidding I hope, you know I'm not good at fighting. "
" Exactly, you know you are defending. "
'West, but ... "
'Katona Noc Feraci to Irrfad, drew your sword and fight me. 'Tone West did not allow the voice of replicas.
speechless Katona did as she was told, drew his weapon and pointed it toward the West, poised to attack.
"Right now? Here? "
" Yes, here here and train the new students will train you. "The prince
cadet of his prepared attack. Did not have time to parry a couple of hits and was immediately disarmed, West looked shocked, he did not believe that the prince was so low.
"We'll have to work hard ... 'West almost sighed resignedly.

Yes, he had no doubt, the man who stood before them was certainly the murderer of the poor herald Eeda, everything fits in the minds of Katona, who first realized how little he had done so far seriously its mission. It was limited to reading books and trying to find just a girl, moved by some kind of obsession, he had not reckoned with the other preachers, and yet he knew of their existence, he knew that the gods were many participants in the Ragnarok, an unforgivable error evaluation. West
closely watched figure, which the predominant color was black: black leather boots, blacks pants, black jacket, black coat, her hair was even blacks. It was certainly a man who did not want to be recognized, one that had to do with darkness, with the darkness of the night and the captain knew only a small number of people who used to dress and act that way.
"You're a murderer," says sure of their words.
The mysterious man's eyes widened in surprise, he had not expected to be approved, the Order of the Assassins was always very discreet, careful not to circulate rumors about him, he was considered a legend. Black served to camouflage in the dark and to remain anonymous during the day, every murderer was so uncomfortable as to leave no witnesses, their work was always perfect and clean.
"So you know who I am, I'm not surprised that you, the West Denio, became captain of the guards so young, a good captain is someone who only understands the enemy. "
" I see that you know the enemy. "Said West spinning the long sword.
"Wait West, there's going to hurt this man, if he wanted to kill him would have done it. "
" You perspicaceMaestà, let us explaining the reason for my coming. »Katona
nodded giving her consent, the murderer wanted to deal, and it was obvious was not wrong, he suggested an alliance with Corinne, Goddess of Discord, to face other opponents.
"Ponder well on my proposal, if accepted I will be happy to share with you my knowledge, in the unlikely event you were to refuse, well, 'you can imagine the consequences.
My Goddess gives you three days, see you soon then. "The murderer
he penetrated quickly into the bush from which it originated and made sure that was not followed, it still had an alliance to offer.

"Why did you let him go? He could kill us at any moment, has anyone told you that you're irresponsible? "
'West, his offer was oozing odor trap.
Goddess of Discord ... if this is not a trap. "
" If you knew then you are doubly irresponsible, because playing his game? "
" Why this hitman believed to have to do with a fool, a pampered prince, does not know that I spent last year studying the book of ancient myths and strategies. "
" What does have the legends? »Katona
sighed, he knew what a soldier of ancient histories and legends of old, what do you know the foundations of their civilization? He vowed to do something to raise the cultural level of the soldiers.
"Life, the story that we live every moment is nothing more than a club, what happened in the past will return in the future.
Many centuries ago, when gods and men had a direct relationship, the Goddess of Discord was furious for not being invited to the wedding of Prince of our previous reign. It was not any wedding, the bride was the firstborn daughter of the neighboring kingdom, the union would have cemented the peace and unified the two kingdoms. In retaliation, she threw a spell at a young couple e. .. "
" Let me guess, the marriage fell through and the two kingdoms declared war. "
" Yes, now you understand why you say it's a trap? "
" He wants to put us against anyone. "
" Exactly. "

Shiree turned away the man dressed in black, a dangerous move to make, but did not want that mysterious herald saw her face. He was afraid.
had crossed as she left the back door of the shop where he worked, the man had taped over your mouth and had dragged her into a blind alley, had presented himself and had made the same recommendation made to the prince.
alliance would have done in the case of Iluv, if it were not for Corinne. The Goddess of Beauty had always warned her the Goddess of Discord, "Beware of Corinne and his herald, may seem the most talented people in the world, but never hesitate to stab in the back, Corinne has done so and I am sure Never choose a herald that it is not up to it. It is' very carefully. "
Shiree thought carefully, the man had given him three days to think and accept the offer, in Otherwise it would have been forced to remove it. She certainly was not ready to face the Dark Lord and wanted to find any loophole that would allow her not to accept the proposal and infamous at the same time, to have saved his life.
Who could I contact? Who could help?
"See you soon, Miss Shiree, I hope for you that you make the right choice. "
" See you soon. "Mumbled the girl continuing to give back.
took a path leading to the city's main street, the lady was thrown out of the store, but that does not bother most, he had more time to devote to clothes and try to convince the mistress the genius of its models, the Ragnarok was entered into the heart, was now at stake his own life.
"Corinne has made an offer? Refuse, I can not trust her, no one has ever trusted her. "He ordered just Shiree Iluv him he reported," Now you have to do even more attention. Eeda participant was a goddess, but it seems that his preacher was killed, and this implies the exclusion of Eeda from Ragnarok.
I'm not sure, but given the threats that we face do I have to say that Corinne was to order the murder. "
" If a preacher is killed, his goddess can no longer compete? "
" Exactly Shiree, these are the rules. "
" I'm man enough to kill and Corinne would not be a problem. "
" And you could kill him? No, we must act in other ways, it is clear that his offer is to put ourselves against someone else would not be the Goddess of Discord. "
" So what are you going to do? "
" When you meet informally that I want to fight against Corinne, immediately, immediately. "

" What do you do Katona? Do you really want to accept his proposal? "
" Yes, it is the only chance I have to kill him. What disgusts me, but it is the only solution I found. "
West looked thoughtful.
"That murderer might have thought what you thought, too. "
" Yes, I am sure, however, is a risk that I run. "
" In no case will leave you alone to face it, even as you stand beside your own shadow has never done before. "

Katona read the letter at least three times, still did not understand where he failed with Shiree, was out of place if the girl was taken to death for a failed appointment, Julian was the son more of a notable of the king, had much to do ... if you had remembered to tell him.
He feared that the girl had discovered her true identity, which seems rather likely since it was shown in public during the Tournament, and then she started deliberately by not compromising.
No, there was something that did not return, unintended consequences, thought of the old blind seer and prophecy concerning him, for he felt a strange foreboding that the shadow was just Shiree, there was a particular reason why he felt this feeling , and it was enough.
in the absolute silence of his apartment the young princes to investigate potential competitors of Ragnarok based on an old book of theology written by a wise man who claimed to have known the gods.
"I've already said that dovrersti be more time off to look for my enemy instead of closing here? "Roriath burst, floating light in the center of study.
"I'm trying to figure out who I'm dealing with. "Katon said testily.
"phantom read the descriptions given by a man who was smoking weed? I do not do much expectations. "The prince
lower shutter closed the book and threw it with a lightning shot, the other corner of the room was not yet accustomed to the sudden and provocative ways of the Goddess, although she was a member of the royal family claims was used without from an early age to be treated with respect and kindness, the only exception was West, with whom he had formed an excellent friendship, could not stand the way of doing Roriath and was perfectly aware of being in a situation where it was impossible to see anything, did not want to find some electrocuted.
"Which is why you come? »Katona was straight to the point.
"I come to tell you that Eeda is out of the game, his herald was brutally killed. "
" What? The seer was killed? Eeda And why can not participate? It is not enough that you find a substitute? "
" No, each goddess has the right to participate only if their herald remains alive, with the death of that old Eeda is automatically excluded from Ragnarok. Only
rules King and not just discussed. "
Katona was speechless for a minute, what was he thinking when Roriath was explaining certain concepts? But above all it was really sure that it would not be passed to mind?
"You have to be very careful from now on as there is around a herald who kill, is the first time that such a thing happens, I do not know cosìaltro advice. "
" I'll accompany the day and night from the West, is the only one I would trust my life completely. "

" I should get back to nurse!? You are not enough last year or do I have to remind you that you were the conditions? "
" This is another situation in the West, you told me that would help me, maybe you reneged on your word? "The study
private captain of the guards had no furniture of luxury and unnecessary items, a desk, two wooden chairs and a large wooden trunk mass was more than enough for West, in line with his character had been removed all that was useless sembtato the day of his appointment, his predecessor had done a study of the living room miniature intrattanere and chat with the ladies of the castle.
The prince looked at him pleadingly, was his only hope, the only one who could explain everything, even if taken for a madman.
'Katona try to understand not your private guard, I serve first of all, your father is that I have sworn allegiance to him and to protect the royal family and the castle at the cost of living.
If I lose time with your tricks and anything happens here I could no longer have a head attached to the neck. »Katona
think twice before uttering a reply, actually the explanation was true of his friend, the prince had no authority to force the captain to divert him from his duties, if you wish to hire someone to be part of his royal guard. .. Do not thank enough his years of studies on the rhetoric.
"Well, if I wanted a soldier or a small squad that protects my sole and only person I can get it right? "
" Sure, "West got up to retrieve a book from the trunk, opened it and leafed through it carefully," If I'm not mistaken you can choose whoever you want for yourself by royal guards, our old name, but only with permission of Her Majesty. "
" Well. "
Katona was about to leave it at that, West had deceived so easily that almost did not believe it.
"Wait a minute ... "As it turned
.
cadet Prince began to run to the castle followed by the captain of the guards, like two children playing tag, laughing and mocking Katona friend, cursing the West behind.
"Stop I say! "
" Your armor will slow down, you better not waste your breath! "
" Stop! "
" My father will accept my request, you know, it is useless for you to run so much! "
Servants and waitresses moved to let them pass, they grumbled the older women, the men shook their heads saying that never, ever such a thing would happen to the golden days of Irrfad. At the end
West had to capitulate.

The two were riding towards the city, West was furious and did nothing to hide.
"I know you're angry with me, but believe me, I really need you. "
Silence.
"I know you think I'm crazy, give me no rope? If I could I would have already provided evidence of the truth of my words. "
No response.
"Oh really! It is not keeping us a grudge that will solve our problems. "
" Her Majesty speaks for itself, perhaps? "
A dark figure emerged from the bush, showing the two knights, West put his hand to the hilt of his sword, ready to pull off in a blink of an eye, Katona stopped his horse standing behind his friend.
"Who are you? Why conceal your face? "Asked the prince authoritarian.
"Your Majesty, because of my job to show my face would be an unforgivable mistake, please forgive me. "
" You have answered the second question, do not avoid the first and speak. "Urged the West to dismount.
The captain approached him with the sword now drawn, the figure pulled out of his cloak a pair of short daggers, ready to defend itself from any attack.
"How could I answer, if I put a knife? "
" How do you expect me to trust, if you do not reveal? "
" If you come in peace you will not be hurt, but if your intentions are evil then prepared to receive the just punishment. »Judgement Katona. The dark presence
retreated slightly, sheathed daggers and pulled back the cloth from his face, showing a young man of about thirty years with an ugly scar on the eye.
"How would you like your Majesty, or should I say Roriath herald of His Lordship, the Goddess of War? "The young princes
winced at the man's words, knew his identity, he knew what was the goddess who was serving, he knew that he was a herald! It did not take him long to connect things and understand that he was the murderess of the old seer.
