(Edgar, not Eduard. Eduard is another character.)

Jovron slashed Roland under his elbow, causing the king to jump back and grab his bleeding side, dropping his shield.

Unluckily for Roland, who was slowly backing away, Louis and Cirges blocked off his escape. "You're going nowhere, Kingslayer."

Roland groaned, gritting his teeth, and became determined to face Jovron. "Very well, if I am to die I'll die with a sword in hand. That will make my ancestors proud at the very least."

Jovron charged in, swing his sword over his head and going in from the left.

Roland lifted up his sword to block and was successful, but the force caused his wounded side to send a jolt of pain up his torso. The King was stunned from this and that allowed Jovron to strike.

The Half-elf thust his sword forward, stabbing the King in the lower torso. He then quickly pulled out the blade and spun, ending with a hit to Roland's helmet.

That dented the King's helmet and disoriented the Bouchard. His vision was blurried and he could barely stand.

Jovron had the perfect opportunity to kill him as he could barely hold his sword. However, he did not finish him. Unstead he sheathed his bloody sword and turned to Louis and Cirges. "Take him, I won't give this traitor the satisfaction of an warrior's death. He will be judged before everyone."

"Edgar's bastard? The one that went to the Order of the Crows?" Weylin asked.

The She-Bear undid her shackles. "Aye, my mother mentioned this to me back in Thorkan Park. It was in Roberto's Will. She meant to possibly marry me to the bastard should Rob perish in the war."

Weylin nodded. He thanked Donel before he went off.

What the She-Bear was true, for Donel soon found the cell that she had mentioned. It was the last one in the long hallway under the castle. Inside was Lady Olen Bathou, though she could barely be recognized. She had been kept there for almost a year and none of her captors had been kind to her.

The 37 year old woman looked to be more in her 50s than 30s. Like the other prisoners she was malnourished, practically just skin and bones at this point. Due to this her features had become sharp, skeletal. Dark circles were around her eyes and the pure stress of suffering through all this time in the cell had caused her hair to turn white. Furthermore, she had scars from her time being tortured by Sir Matthias and was missing three of her fingers. One of which had been sent to Lord Bathou during the Rebellion. The others, however, wasn't cut off. While Rallaume never tortured her physically like he did Cirges, for he was too busy having his fun with the Knight, he had ordered her to not be fed for longer than she could endure and she had ended up biting two of her fingers off trying to eat them.

(Oh, I mentioned this to Septimus in the chat a while back and didn't mention it here but since the timeline of this RP is a bit fucked up I've retconed some things. Essentially all the events prior to the Rebellion took place in 4E 227. The rebellion took place in 4E 228 and we are now in the beginning of 4E 229. So all characters are around 1-2 years older than they were at the 1st part.)

"This is why I like you, Prince Balin!" He said with a chuckle. "Oh how I wish the Divines had blessed me with a son like yourself. Might have helped my young Joslin's lone upbringing. Ah, I shouldn't say such things. The gods gave me a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter and great fortune. I've prospered much in my 64 years on Nirn. I've lived a long and fulfilling life. Can't complain."
