21 " Very well. On my love for Mencheres, I swear that I will honor both you and Leila as my true partners, and I will keep my insolence, trickiness , filthiness, and general knavery to as much a minimum as I can manage. "

Instead, I watched with stunned disbelief as Mencheres’s head exploded right off his shoulders. "
