ZARIAH
It Ludo wished to take all of the offerings, Zariah would certainly not protest. The early bird gets the worm, and Ludo was indeed that today.
She listened with seriousness as Ludo described the Eirachi, mind whirring with calculations. So it was another binding of a sort – not quite the same as the one that had bound the Launceleyns before, but a chain around Neron’s throat all the same. Her expression grew cold, even as her blood boiled. Old Zariah, the one Neron did remember, would be quick to pull the trigger, seeking out ways she could kill and destroy the godling that so tethered Neron. But this Zariah had learned not to be so hasty, especially where beings with the power of gods was concerned. ”I understand.” she said in a calm, measured tone. ”Are there ways to nullify the agreement, or remove her hold without paying said price?” she asked, curiously. But of course, in the back of her mind, she did wonder – the quickest way to deal with any problem was simple to kill the perpetuator of said problem. So she had to ask, ”And what if Eirachi were to be killed?” she asked. She as of yet did not surmise she had the power to do so, but it was always better to know what all the potential options were.

heavy is the crown
but never for a queen
