Slowly Alessan shook his head"It is twenty years too late for Brandin of Ygrath to join the PalmIt was too late the day he landed here with an invading forceI would prefer not to kill youWill you give us an oath in your own name and lay down your sword in surrender?"
Beside Devin, Ducas snarled angrilyBut before the Tregean could speak, the Ygrathen said: "My name is RhamanusI offer it to you in pride, for no dishonor has ever attached to that nameYou will have no oath from me thoughI swore one to the King I love before I led his Guard hereI told him I would
