Now alone with Drakmos the Despised, Remar and Sharbrook turned their attentions back to the reptilian crime lord as he sat back down on his marble throne. Interlacing his scaly red fingers with each other, he peered down at them with golden eyes. “You have already been compensated for this little venture,” he rumbled. “However, I would like to offer you another job.” “Let’s hear it,” Remar said, being mindful to not sound like he was committed to accepting it. “Recently, one of the Cabal’s leaders—the Dowager Valrisa of Sedratis—met her tragic demise on Ord Mantell,” Drakmos went on. “This has left a vacuum in the Cabal’s structure. Normally, when a Cabal leader passes, their assets are either absorbed into one of the others’ factions or a prospective individual would be promoted to take their place. But in the Dowager’s case, she left behind a will that dictated that all seven of her children had a claim to her assets and that they would need to fight each over it in order to assume full control.” “And the Cabal is willing to honor this will rather than just dismiss it and hand the assets of their own choosing?” Remar asked. “Malvis is, yes. I cannot speak as to his reasons; I personally would have dismissed such a frivolous thing and seized the Dowager’s assets for myself.” Drakmos splayed his palms open. “But alas, I am not the one in control. Not yet, at least.” Drakmos ended this statement with a conspiratorial smile and Remar couldn’t help but wonder what he was getting himself into. Of course, it was not too late to back out of it; he hadn’t actually agreed to anything, after all. However, he could not help but find himself asking: “What do you want us to do then?” “It’s quite simple, really,” said Drakmos. “I want you to track down and kill all seven of the heirs.” | |
