A King’s Comrade

PREFACE
9/17

For all its exceeding beauty, hers is an evil face to look on at this time.

And the women who gaze on her have no pity in their eyes, nor have the men.
Once again the great jarl speaks, and his words are cold and measured.
"Also, I and our wisest hold that what you have tried to compass was out of the longing for power that ever lies in the heart of youth.

We had done no more than laugh thereat had you been content to try to win your will with the ancient wiles of woman that lie in beauty and weakness.

But for the evil ways in which you have wrought the land is accursed, and will be so as long as we suffer you.

Go hence, and meet elsewhere what fate befalls you.
