Bard, who saved the royal family from cholera and received a noble title, visits the neighboring kingdom of Sanjuan on the orders of King Welkin. But what awaits this newly-minted diplomat in Sanjuan is an ugly battle of succession to determine the next king, triggered by the death of the king's eldest son. Now Bard must turn to his trusty cheats to save the kingdom from being torn apart by family turmoil!
