Deirdre set Kendall on a chessboard. Just then, a witch commander approached the Witch Queen.
"Why play with him when you can have a real-life king?"
"You captured the king?"
"Indeed."
Without another word, Deirdre put Kendall away.
"Hey!" objected Kendall to the indignity of the matter.
Deirdre signaled for a maid to put the box with Kendall in it away for safekeeping. Then she went to meet Brian, the King of Mektlacaugh.
King Brian was standing with his hands tied behind his back, flanked by two guards.
"How rude of me to keep you waiting! Come have lunch with me!"
After the guards untied him, Brian went into the dining hall escorted by Deirdre. The two set down to a private lunch with Deirdre inviting Brian to explain his case to her.
Five minutes into the conversation, Brian was explaining, "And that is why..." when he stopped, noticing that he was shrinking. The Witch Queen grinned, got up out of her seat and picked up the shrunken king off of the bench with one hand!
