The Jongurian Mission (60 page)

“I think you are making a mistake by being so hasty in your decision,” Jossen said as he looked over at the Allidian.
“I wish that you would stay and listen to my plan first before you commit one way or the other.”

“I have no intention of listening to any plan that would involve moving against the king of Adjuria,” Klyne said, rising from his chair.

“Are you sure that you want to do that, Klyne?” Jossen said. “After everything that I’ve told you here tonight, I’m not sure it would be wise for you to return to Allidia without pledging your support. How could I be sure you would not report what I’ve said here to the king?”

“Are you threatening me?” Klyne asked in a hard voice, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

“Not at all,” Jossen said in a calm voice, moving his hand up as if to flip away the silly comment.

“What harm could it do to listen to what Jossen has to say?” Andor said.

“I think it would be better to listen than to spill blood,” Dolth added.

Klyne looked at the two of them then back at Jossen before slowly returning to his seat.

“Very good,” Jossen said, sitting up and leaning his arms on the table and drawing the others in with his actions.
“This is what I have planned.”
