"Fontaines taking prisoner? Seems very unlikely to me."

"Ya. They'll likely have this poor sod executed. If he doesn't switch sides. And the king is not a nice man to liars."

The two Royal Guardsmen shared a laugh, before using the Shornhelm Wayshrine and arriving just outside Camlorn, continuing to drag the boy towards the infirmary.

Casimir II and Alan Fontaine had a conversation on the throne room.

"All of you. Leave us" the High King commanded the others in the throne room to leave, and so they followed.

"First you disobeyed my orders to stay put in the city, and now look what happened to your city. How is a king supposed to protect his people when he failed to serve the people first above his personal interests?" The former started with a tone of disappointment.

"Oh, please. Not this again, brother. I know, I was wrong for rushing in to save Northpoint and leave my city unprotected. Happy?"

The High King gave a very long sigh, before keeping his cool and made a cold drink for him and his brother.

"So... did you get any information from the Empire through the Special Applications?"

"Yeah. It seems that they're holding a researcher as hostage, forcing her to create advanced technology meant for war to revolutionize warfare" Alan nodded, before taking out a rough sketch of the person in question.

"...She could very well turn the tide of the war for us. If we can use her" Casimir II said.

"Aye," Alan nodded, "What's better is that she's seeking to defect. All she asked for was clemency and a new home to stay in. Asylum, to be exact.

But the problem is; they keep her in the heart of Imperial territory, and the Imperial City is locked up tighter than a miser's purse. They can teach us a thing or two about real paranoia."

Casimir thought about it, before nodding and saying "We have to chance it. And I know just the right people to send."

The High King smiled, before patting his brother's shoulder.

"Let's just hope their faces are not well-known. They can just make up new names. Hold the fort here. I'm going to wait for the right person and her group back in Daggerfall. No more recklessness, alright?"

Alan understood what his brother meant, toasting each other's glass. "Aye."

"Easy, don't get up so quickly" Aia said as she set Stauntax back on the bed.

"Hey! I could use some tinctures over here!" she exclaimed to any nearby healer.
