To Answer a King is the 15th chapter of Brisingr. It takes place from the view of Eragon.
Summary[]
Eragon tells the story of his journey from Helgrind to Surda to King Orrin, Arya, and Nasuada. To his surprise, Orrin and Nasuada agree with his punishment of Sloan, saying that he shouldn't take the role of executioner. That would have made him no better than Galbatorix. The chapter ends with Nasuada inviting Eragon to a diplomatic dinner, setting the stage for the next chapter, "A Feast with Friends."
