Facing Sequara again, he said, “My lady, I am Duke Anarad. My younger brother was named Longarr, and he had a son called Imharr, whom our foes in Caergilion enslaved after murdering his family. I sought my nephew and his sister for many years, and I despaired of ever finding them. But you’ve rekindled my hope, whether for good or ill. If the king gives me leave, I’ll take a few of my soldiers and go with you to Caergilion to seek these two young men of yours. And if your Imharr turns out not to be my nephew, I’ll bear you no grudge.”
