"I have been asking the Earthman Larrabee about you. It suits you
well." She leaned forward. "This is what I want of you. Slay me
Egil and his brother Cond. Also Bor, who will grow up worse than
either--although that I can do myself, if you're adverse to killing
children, though Bor is more monster than child. Grandmother can't live
forever, and with my cousins out of the way she's no threat. Treon
doesn't count."
"And if I do--what then?"
"Freedom. And me. You'll rule Shuruun at my side."
