Arielle was started by his voice, recognizing his Imperial accent from that time in the tower. She drew her rapier and pointed it at the Knight. "I won't go back, I will kill you like the other if I have to." she said determinently.

Hours later High Queen Abelle was in her chambers with her father. "You want to return to Daggerfall?"

"Yes, it is the best course of action. I had a carriage prepared to take the traitor's remains to Jehanna. It should be leaving soon. But I still fear for your safety, it is best to leave for our home. I heard whispers of the easterners gathering their forces, though I can't say for sure." Perien said. "With how late you are in your pregnancy you must think of your child first."

"You are right father. I will go back with you and Crendal to Daggerfall." She grabbed his hands in hers. "You have always shown great wisdom. I would like to do as I should have done before Edgar arrived and name you as Regent."

"I would be honored to have the position. I will serve High Rock until my grandchild is ready to take their place on the throne." Perien said.

"Thank you father. Now please, leave me to my sleep. I am tired after today's trial." Abelle said. She was already laying in bed. Her well being was still declining, she was paler and weaker than before her husband's death. She let of of her father's hands and grabbed the tea that she had been drinking since he arrived in the capital, as he had recomended it to lift her spirits.

"Of course. Your Knights will be right outside should you require anything." Perien said and left his daughter's room. Outside in the hall, Sir Jadier was waiting. "Jadier, I take it you are enjoying the promotion."

"Yes, but I will feel much better when Albecius is hanged along with the other Knights in the dungeon." Jadier said.

"I will have them hanged in the courtyard tomorrow. No need to keep them around anymore." The king said.

Jadier walked with the king back to his quarters. "Do no worry, my liege. When you leave for Daggerfall I will keep an eye on things here for you. I know you don't fully trust Emeric."

"I truth I don't trust anyone fully. I only trust you because I know your type, the one that cares only about money. I know that you won't betray me because I am the one that can pay you the most in all of High Rock." Perien said.

Jadier nodded. "Aye, and I do not want to lose that source of money. You can count on my loyalty to your wealth."
