About Anders Ämting
- Biography:
- And it happened in a week with two Fridays that the cruel king heard of a prophesy. A child had been born, reported his spies, a luck child. Poor as penance, rich as snow, the seventh son of a seventh son. Wise men prophesied that this child would one day be king.
"Superstition, Majesty! Folklore!" said his evil chancellor. "Old wives tales! Rubbish! How could a peasant child not worth a spit -how could a brat- become king?"
But the cruel king choked on the news, and felt it sharpen and pierce his heart...

”But the best part is, he's alone one night and he feels a shadow overtake him from behind, and he knows that Conan is standing behind him with a large axe. And Conan tells him: 'Just stay there and write! And if you don't do exactly what I tell you, I'm going to cleave you down the middle.'”
