One of Bregadoir's early stops in Appaloosa Plains had been the city hall building.
With Simoleans slipped into the right hands and the right locks being picked, Breagadoir found himself in possession of an additional house deed.
It happened to be the house where Caoin's son had moved with his wife. The young couple received a letter a few mornings later informing them that Caoin had not actually paid for the house and they were being evicted. That was when Virtue got a call from his long lost uncle.
When the elven prince heard of his nephew's terrible plight (which the prince had, of course, caused) he immediately invited him over.
"You can just come stay with us," Bregadoir informed his nephew.
"Really?" asked a surprised Virtue. "You'd do that for us?"
"Of course," said his uncle. "we're family, after all. But there are no free rides. You'll need to work around the house for me."
"Oh, that's fine," said a relieved-sounding Virtue. "I believe in the value of earning your keep."
"Of course you do."
When the young elf and his wife arrived at Bregadoir's manor,
Virtue fell prey to the power of vampiric hypnotism.
And Janice fell under a different type of spell.
Well, if my husband is going to flirt with that she-vamp, thought Janice,
I suppose I can be a little flirty myself.Meantime, Virtue was given the task of being the new gardener,
and was locked in the garden itself,
and Janice became the
live-in slave maid.
