Shedding Pounds, Seizing Power - Episode 6

An urgent court report: Bellaran challengers arrive on Firemane steeds, said to run 1,000 miles a day, making the opening duel likely lost for Yolham. The ruler scrambles; ordinary horses can't match them, so they pin hope on Herbert, Yolham's top fighter, to win later rounds. Martin has returned Lady Rosalie to Tranquil Hall—she looks thinner—and some suspect her release was meant to steady Herbert. There is worry General Cooper could demand the monarch's dethronement if he wins. The ruler says, 'Relax. He won't win.' The duel looms; Herbert's next fight will decide the court.
