Kornesin and his family lived in the capitol of Tarna, and conducted most of their business there. One day while Kornesin was out and about he saw someone putting up posters around the town. He stopped to read one of them. The king was offering a 10 thousand gold coin reward for anyone who can bring his daughter back alive. Kornesin saw this as an opportunity, not for the gold but for ulterior motives. He grabbed the posting and folded it up, slipping it into his pocket. Perhaps he could make alliances to help him in his own goals. Surely many would be attending this gathering, with a reward of 10 thousand gold who wouldn't? Even though, there have been countless brave men who have tried saving the princess before. But maybe this would change things. Maybe whoever attended this gathering would want to work together and split the reward, although sharing wasn't one of Kornesin's best attributes. Kornesin headed back to his home and would wait there until the eve of this gathering.
