Edwin's attack was the most accurate and ended up leaving a deep gash on the bandit's face instead of stabbing him.

The bandit stumbled back and grabbed his bleeding face, crying out.

The second bandit let loose a second arrow, aiming at Edwin's upper body.

"Certainly, sir." The servant said and headed off to give the chef the order.

"Good. I should be back shortly. If you need anything feel free to ask the servants." Mera said and then turned heel and headed off into the private quarter of the palace, but first grabbed the change of clothes from the servant.

She headed down a set of stairs and soon arrived in the Bath House of the palace. Unlike the south of Eastmarch, Windhelm didn't have natural hotsprings, but the royals had built a bath house and used warm stones and furnaces to heat the bath and create steam.

By the door outside the Bath House, Mera could already feel the heat from the room. The Queen's Housecarl, Gormlaith Stone-Fist, stood guard. "Lady Mera." he muttered when he saw her.

"I'm here to see the High Queen. She has guests from Hammerfell." Mera explained.

Gormlaith took a step to the side. "I'm not one to stop you from seeing her highness. Go right in."

Mera nodded and headed inside. She felt the hot air of the bath house kiss her skin instantly as she opened the door.

High Queen Ursine had her back to her, sitting down on the edge of the bath.

"Ursine." Mera called to her. "An envoy from Hammerfell has arrived in the palace. They'd like to speak with you. I've brought you some clothes."

Ursine looked over her shoulder. "Ah, Mera. I'll get ready." She stood up and headed over to the Steward to get the clothes. Ursine was only 29 but she looked older. She had a strong jaw, a stern face and a permanent scowl. She had the body of a warrior, muscular and firm. She was over 6 feet tall, though that was about average for a Nord. She had shoulder length blond hair and light blue eyes. Her skin was of fair complexion and filled with small scars. The biggest one was on the left side of her cheek. Three scars went down the entire length of her cheek, a consequence of a fight with a snow bear that she had at 16.

Mera helped her liege get dressed and the two of them left the bath house. When they were heading back to the throne room, Gormlaith followed suit. He handed the High Queen her crown and axe.
