Skammerens Datter II: Slangens Gave Page #3

---

A man drinking dragon's blood

is not so easy to kill.

Dragons' blood can provide

almost inhuman power.

Nicodemus tried to kill Drakan

and fled with the Lady's daughter.

I cannot explain their escape

or the attack on my lord Drakan.

Why would an innocent do this?

And why flee?

- I cannot answer that.

- Enough talk.

Lady Tonerre cannot help us.

But we must do something.

Dunark stands without leadership.

We must appoint a new prince.

- Ravens time is over.

- So, Drakan.

As long as Nicodemus' guilt is

not proven, he remains the -

Rightful heir to Dunarks throne.

And in his absence,

I am the supreme authority.

I'm trying to understand your decision -

- But I also have an obligation

to Dunark, the people and my family.

- I remove your powers.

- What's going on, Lord Drakan?

I am no longer my lord,

dear Law Master.

I am the Prince now.

Are there others who want to

follow the Law Master?

Or can Prince Drakan's future orders

receive your unconditional loyalty?

"It is decreed that every citizen

in Dunark know -

- that Nicodemus Ravens, son of

Prince Ebenezer Ravens of Dunark,-

- this today is found

guilty of murder of the prince -

- and the murder of Princess

Adela Ravens and his son, Bian Ravens.

For these crimes the punishment

is beheading.

Nicodemus Ravens shall lose every right,

all goods, all titles and inheritance -

and be declared outlaw.

All armed men may sign up

at the door of the garrison.

Dragon Prince rewards all

who serve him loyally.

It is further made known that as

the house Ravens now has an heir, -

- Dunark city and castle

belongs to the Government -

- and Prince Drakan by name and benefit,

son of blood through Ebenezer Ravens.

The Prince Drakan needs

all regardless of size.

A new era is upon us!

Raven house has fallen

Dragon's order has risen

where the raven fell. "

By killing the prince and two heirs

and blaming the third.

What does he mean by

"son of blood"?

Drakan claims he is the

illegitimate son of my father -

born out of wedlock.

Yes...

Is it true?

What?

Yes.

Drakan is your half-brother.

I thought you should know.

Nico, listen.

Your father invited

dama Lizea into his bedroom.

Now you tell me. Now.

But he dared not give her power

by marrying her.

And as your half brother, Nico

Drakan is sole heir now.

Yes.

Open up in the Prince Drakan's name!

Go ahead! Fast!

Come on.

- Hide yourself in the bench, Nico.

- Close it!

Come on then, come on then.

In you go.

- Break the door down.

- What are you doing?

Move, old man. We have

orders to search the house.

- You cannot be here.

- Look upstairs.

Not that!

Stop that!

That's irreplaceable!
