Hello and welcome back to another very special episode of the Champions cast.

This is Andy Spatari and we are about to launch into part two, a thrilling conclusion of a live reading of a murder in Castle Town.

Please enjoy the ups, downs, thrills, shocks, and twists, and we'll see you on the other side.

Link, stop. Impa's voice trailed after me as I stormed down the hall, and admittedly,

I did not really process her words right away. A sort of blind rage had overcome me, and I knew I wasn't thinking logically. But how could I? I had just been told my best friend, who I had known since we were children, upon whose word I gave up my home and life, as I knew it, might have been a murderer. At least that's where my head was at the time, and I was going to make her tell me.

I didn't care what she was doing.

I didn't care if she was eating or speaking with the council or taking some much needed personal time.

She was going to talk to me and explain exactly why she needed a vial of poison that was used in the death of her father.

Link, listen to me.

I suddenly felt my body jerked back behind a large human wall as impa blocked my way

think about what you're about to do you mean confront someone who was supposed to be my friend about

why she asked a servant to steal rat poison i hissed and impa shushed me holding uh holding up her hands in placation it didn't work

I know you need to talk to her now it's why you're you it's why you are still here I came

here in the first place for her Impa but you need to consider what you were going to say

I figured out when I get there, I thought.

I glared, nostrils flaring, and ducked past her.

Behind me, I heard the woman sigh.

She's in her study.

Impa called after me.

I took a sharp left and made a beeline.

One benefit of the castle, at least in this particular situation, had to be its size.

I left Zelda's servant in her quarters in an absolute rage, but by the time I got to the tower that held the princess's study, the rage had dulled to more of an ache in my stomach.
