The prince looked in the mirror and smiled. The plan was going perfectly. Virginia was on her way to the nine kingdoms and would soon be in the castle to meet this friend of her father's, or so she thought. How wonderful it would be if she would agree to his plan without any.... persuasion. He didn't want to torture the girl, but it would probably come to that. Maybe if he could give her a taste of the power, she'd agree. She liked the power. He knew that. It ran in her family. "Show me Blabberwort, mirror." In seconds, the troll's face was in the mirror.
"What do you want?" She snapped. Behind her was Tony Lewis bound and gagged. He looked at the prince with angry eyes.
"Only to see what our prisoner is doing. I see that he is in good hands." Blabberwort snorted.
"The best. He's not going anywhere." The prince smiled.
"Actually, he is. Take him to my underground prison in the 6th kingdom. We'll have to cover our cards now, or we'll lose the game."
"The 6th kingdom? It's too far. He can stay here." The prince shook his head. He didn't have time for this!!
"Take him now," he bellowed, "Or I'll have your head on the same platter your father's is on." Her eyes widened and she grunted.
"Fine. But don't ask me to move him again." The prince smiled. Trolls were far too easy to manipulate.
"Trust me, I won't." He waved his hand and the troll's image disappeared.
