Goodbye, Mr Evil

Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 1,450 words.  Not even Evil Lord Evil passes altogether unmourned, though he managed a pretty creditable imitation up to this point.  I'll give him a 9 for effort.

Kate is a natural tragic* actress, and the Young Duke is a natural showman, and both of them would be extremely indignant to hear of any such suggestions. 

They and their companions leave Garton and ride up-dale towards the Edge.  The doom draws very near.

* Probably very Jacobean and stabby.
