Lilith: Aye! For I too know the beauty of Crystaliana well. That is why I now need thine information more than ever. Sayest you! Have you nay information that I may use against the king of Crystaliana?

Kwazi: Aye my Queen, I do.

Lilith: Well, thy servant tell me now what is on thine tongue. Speaketh now.

a festival is to be presented in her honor. If thy Queen were to be invited, ye would be able to plot against the King as ye sees fit.

Kwazi: Aye my Queen I will.

Lilith: I, Queen Lilith of Granolvia, sayest now, that I will become Queen of Crystaliana. For I prithee that it is so that nay but a beautiful Queen like me is able to control a beautiful land that is Crystaliana. King Jeffries shall fall

to the toxin from a snake's tongue. All but a sip is what it would take, to see his tongue froth with poison. No blood shall be shed, a silent killer yet.
