“Get over it” was Edmund’s reply.

“That’s the response of my loyal retainer and commander of my guard?”

“Yes” was his succinct reply.

“Remind me to have you draw up an order for your execution” she said airily.

“Of course Milady Megan, I will remind you promptly.”

“Somehow I doubt that.”

“You’re an astute judge of character. And you’re not bored.”

“I’m not?”

“No, you are missing a certain lovely red haired succubus and thus aren’t interested.”

“Exactly. Bored.”

“There’s a difference. Bored is having nothing to do. You have a great deal to do, you know running this little kingdom me and Phil conquered for you.”

“You and Phil?”

“Well you helped” he conceded.

“Helped!? If not for me the Duchess would have squashed you all flat and incinerated the remains.”

“True. But we took on her guard and raised an army…”

“You raised a bandit company. Hardly an army.”

“It had fighting men”
