So naturally Pocket is at his brainless, elderly liege's side when Learat the insidious urging of Edmund, the bastard (in every way imaginable) son of the Earl of Gloucesterdemands that his kids swear their undying love and devotion before a collection of assembled guests.

But Cordeliabelieves that her father's request is kind of... well... stupid, and her blunt honesty ends up costing her her rightful share of the kingdom and earns her a banishment to boot...
