Conan is hired as the princess' bodyguard for the journey to Alcalais, but as it turns out, Jabezo is not dead: he is an evil wizard who decades ago manipulated a chamber maid into killing the king and the queen and then pose as a mutilated queen mother. All is part of a plan to marry the young princess and take over Ravonna. Conan halts the plan.
