The Toy laughs at Riamh's response and realizes that she realizes the
crucial error she has made.

"Come now Lady Riamh, be at ease on this day,  My master has sent me on
quite a few missions and  you are just one stop along the way.  But  be that
as it is, I am not like those little pawns you killed so long ago.

You can think of me as my masters right hand, I know everything that his
right hand knows but nothing his left knows.  Though be happy his left hand
is no longer on this island and on his way back to our master.

That is something I quite desire myself.

My master has a question for you,  why did you not hold the Highland Empire
together but allowed it to collapse, you were skilled with words and easy
could have ended the wars, but why did you fail.

My master has always been curious about this, for the Lady Riamh Aice he
knew never failed once she set down her foot....."

The Toy licks his lips in anticipation of the answer.
