An Audience with the King

...so let me see if I've got this right. You are banished from the land by the evil duke, in spite of violent protests from the rest of the king's advisors. Then, like some page out of Aesop's tales, the benevolent king invites you to personally accompany him and his family as they journey to a far away land... and also joining you on your trip is the king's respected father? Seems to me like that duke is gonna be real pissed when he finds out. Would you like me to tell him for you?
