**We made it! We made it to the end! Thank you all for reading with me through QTU Season 1!
I have two more seasons written, but I thought I was going to get a contract with WebNovel, and I didn't, so I'm not writing 1500 words a day for no pay lmao. So I will release those and finish the serial whenever I please :).
Meanwhile! Please check out my new book Death By Guillotine, and Other High-End Services! Available on my personal website https://krislynlyon.com, and on Amazon.**

On the remainder of their trip, Esther and Bartholomew, for that was the RLS’s name, became good friends. By the time they reached the Grumpet’s moat, they were walking hand in hand. Bartholomew no longer wanted to speak to the governor about getting a good review, but after hearing about Esther’s frankly unheard of issues with marauders on her land, was coming with her for moral support.

They approached the Grumpet’s moat with no trepidation—only joy. Why wouldn’t they? They’d never heard of a “Grumpet” before.
They were just a few feet away when suddenly they felt it—

“Do you feel something?” Esther abruptly said.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpSt5kMuos
“No,” said Bartholomew. “What do you feel?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WV5a4W0IW
“It feels like—” Esther struggled to express the feeling. “It feels like—”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ZUdaQH1j
Then, without intending to, she fell to her knees.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLQSRV4w2b
“Esther!” cried Bartholomew. “What’s happened?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTHddfCwX
“It’s nothing,” insisted Esther. “Truly nothing—it’s just—”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDggyEfyJyx
“Esther, what????”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEPgsLiUZP
Bartholmew was panicked, but there was nothing he could do. Esther was simply crmumpled into fetal position, for absolutely no reason at all. It was only after several moments that she managed to speak.
“It—” she finally ventured— “Feels—like—my—mother—”

That was all she got out. Then she keeled over and was down for the count, and the Grumpet, just below the water, felt very pleased with himself. It took a lot of judgment to make someone feel like they were in the same room with their mother. He must’ve taken his vitamins that morning.

Grieved, and at a complete loss of what to do, Bartholomew now knew that he needed the governor more than ever. Picking up a crumpled Esther in his tiny salamander hands, he began to walk forward, continuing over the footbridge, and into the castle keep.

Once there, he called out. “Excuse me! I require an audience with Quiverus The Unjust! My friend Esther has just collapsed, and we need to bring her back! As well as to deal with the mauraders illegally harrassing her on her property!”

If you were expecting a castle keep teeming with servants to the crown, you’re about to be sorely disappointed.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qlPQfl3LQ
It was actually deserted. No one knows why, but that is where the story’s at right now.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ddiUxRiz
Desperate for help, Bartholomew ran up to a set of large double doors, and repeated his plea.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJwKbX87wn
Still nothing.

However, this time, he noticed a stylish read button on the stone wall. It said “Push in case of emergency.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg78Ff4RUzT
Using one of his hind legs (he was still carrying Esther), he pushed it.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsAcagWPuT
The large double doors swang open before him.

Thinking only of poor Esther, Bartholomew rushed in.
