Zack had to think a while to remember who Exi was, but once he remembered the name of the Chianti Hunter who was killed a few days back, he looked back at Fenwick with sympathy.
The Councilman was still seething however, even though his anger seemed to be directed towards Pende.
"Come now, Fenwick. You knew what he was walking into when he joined us."
"I did. Or I thought I did. He was joining to help recover our lost nation, not be killed like a dog in the Tal."
Pende winced, but Fenwick was not yet done.
"And why? For some keys to the blasted library? Is that really the priority of Miden? A fucking library? When we have a King we need to depose?"
A chill went through Zack as he listened to the impassioned Fenwick. He had never really thought in detail what Miden's end game was, in fact he had tried not to think about it too much. But Fenwick was right, there was only really one way Miden could achieve his goals.
Deposing the King!!
