Being a spy of honor is not enough—those like them aren’t taken prisoner; they’re hanged on the nearest tree. However, King Ordos didn’t give up his intentions to seize the Angouleme duchy.

They’ll have to fight mages, stand on the king’s side, and even survive their own death to carry out the duke’s order.
