It was hard to fight in the battlements now that boiling oil was leaking everywhere, so both the Seaborn Knights and the Mercs had difficulty against each other. However, the Mercs had the advantage of using bows and arrows so they didn't all need to cross the boiling oil to attack the Knights.

The Lion Knights jumped over the barricades and took out the Shornhelmers.

"The way is clear." young Percy stated.

Jovron dismounted from his horse and lead his group up to the battlements.

They fought past a few mercs until they came close to Rodwell, though in between them and him was a pool of boiling oil.

King Rodwell looked over at the incoming enemies and drew his sword, before he noticed Cassander among the men. "So, the bastard is here. Fighting alongside the other bastard."

"Rodwell, you're outmatched. Surrender and you may yet live." Cassander stated.

Rodwell ignored him. "One of the best moments of father's life was when his backstabbing brother died. When your father died. One of the best moments of my life was when I learned that you weren't my father's son. The moment that I learned that I was his true heir."

"Emeric may not be my father but I am still your brother, Rodwell." Cassander pointed out. "I don't want anything bad to happen to you. So please, surrender and end this pointless battle."

Rodwell continued ignoring him. "Father decided that it was pointless to fight the Lariat boy, so he ran away, giving up the crown that he killed for." Rodwell chuckled. "He expected me to run as well, as Damo did. No, that isn't me. I stayed and I took the crown for myself." He raised his hands. "King Rodwell Auld. That's who I am. I don't care for father's silly goals of lost heirs and rubies. What I always wanted was to be King and I've achieved that dream. I won't let you or that Lariat bastard beside you, take that away from me. I'd rather die a King than surrender and become a nobody again."

"It seems that you were right." Jovron told Cass. "We'll need to take him down." He was about to order his men to attack Rodwell, but Cassander lifted his arm.

He blocked Jovron, then said. "Rodwell is my brother, let me deal with him."

Jovron saw the determined, yet sad, look on Cass' face and nodded. "Alright. You can take him, we'll deal with the rest of his archers to the south." Jovron and the Knights of the Lion headed off, leaving Cassander alone with Rodwell.
