Arutha returned a polite nod and said, "Pug, do you return to Krondor
with us? " Pug s expression revealed concern. "Not straight away,
Highness. There are matters I must investigate at Stardock. The
activities of the Tsurani Great Ones involved with this last attempt at
Sethanon cause me great concern. I need to ensure that they were the
only magicians involved, and that those who still reside at my Academy
are free of any guilt. " Arutha looked at the retreating wagons again as
he said, "We do need to talk about the role played by the Tsurani in
your Academy, Pug. But not here. "

the secret of the Lifestone which sat beneath the city of Sethanon, it
was wise to talk only in private. And Pug also knew that Arutha had

Anyone attempting to blackmail you through William will find him
difficult to reach. " Pug s expression showed he didn t approve. "He
could have been so much more. " His look silently implored Arutha to do
something. "He still can. It s not too late for him to return to
Stardock with me.

Arutha regarded the magician. He understood Pug s frustration and his
parental desire to see his son back with his family.
