Barney turned toward the girl.

"There is no other way, my lord king," she said with grave dignity.

"With her blood your mother bequeathed you a duty which you may not s.h.i.+rk. It is not for you or for me to choose. G.o.d chose for you when you were born."

Maenck died of his wound on the floor of the little room in the east transept of the cathedral of l.u.s.tadt beside the body of the king he had slain. Prince Peter of Blentz was tried by the highest court of Lutha on the charge of treason; he was found guilty and hanged. Von Coblich committed suicide on the eve of his arrest. Lieutenant Otto Butzow was enn.o.bled and given the confiscated estates of the Blentz prince. He became a general in the army of Lutha, and was sent to the front in command of the army corps that guarded the northern frontier of the little kingdom.
