Sir Garret Dies heroically

he Messanger handed you a letter sealed with the Loon family crest. You excuse yourself from overseeing the nobles training to go read the letter in private. You give orders that not even Butrexx or Sarah are to disturb you. The Letter reads as below:

My Dear King Bryce,
I have grave news. Sir Garret and my husband are all dead. Killed by a succubus who had taken my from as there own and kept me as their prisoner. Some of your soldiers also died but the succubus was finally killed just before it could change back into my from. Your men will bring the bodies of your fallen men back to your castle along with the body of the demon as confirmation of the events. Please have Lady Vessa use her mage powers to verify the demon's body and see if she can find out more about it
I have returned peace to my kingdom. I will keep you informed on this matter as best as I can with you venturing off to foreign lands.
Yours Sincerely,
Countess Marissa Loon, Lady of Luxum.

You are saddened to hear of the fate of Sir Garret and Count Loon. You wonder what might have happened if you had left in his stead. You shudder at the idea that a demon was able to infiltrate the royalty of Luxem. You wonder about your own court. You write back sending your condolences. Then you go and Inform Lady Vessa of the upcoming arrival of the body of the Succubus. You also instruct her to work with your spymaster to covertly sweep the castle for demons and other threats. You do not want anything to happen while you are away. Having made your final preparations you inform Butrexx, Sarah, Remus (Marissa's nephew) and Lord Gilbert of the news. Leaving Lord Gilbert in charge of the castle you set of on your quest.
