Even with the chief conspirator rather definitely dealt with, there is rather a lot that has to be addressed in the wake of an attempted royal coup. The others involved must be located and taken care off, a nervous populace must be reassured.

Arrangements must be made for the room and board for Norman the Royal Dragon of Ambergeldar.

The heroes of the day must be properly thanked and acknowledged. (Which means finding a new Protocol Officer who can throw together an appropriate ceremony and celebration, immediately.)

In the meantime, however, those heroes have earned a bit of a rest. Amy made sure, personally, that everyone had a room, fresh clothes and anything else they want.

She also has the Royal Family's Sitting Room set up for their use. The room is full of comfortable chairs, and has a lived-in feel, with Perry's books and Amy's handwork and several of Merry and Susan's toys scattered about.

There is also, on a long, low table, rather a lot of food -- bread, meat, cheese, a couple of pies and a tray of other pastries, fruit from the palace greenhouse, pots of tea, pitchers of apple cider and milk and wine.

"Of course it does! It's like the two guards who'll let you pass if you can answer a question, but you can only ask them once and one of them always lies."

(The answer, of course, is to take down both guards with a well-aimed kick to the head, but that's not the point either.)

"That is not a useful security measure," X says.

It really isn't.

"You are not that stupid."

"True," he admits, "but other people are. Know your enemy, right?"

It certainly works well enough for him.

"It is better to just kill them."

Beat.

"Not to play games."

She does not fidget.

"Then they cannot come back."

Like Maximilian, for one.
