(@Rifle: What do you mean:  "The operator of the catapult fired onto the back of the deck once Forward was far away enough."? Is the Forward sailing away from the Deceit? If that is the case then they can't fire the ballistae at the pirates since those are on the flanks of the ship where the cannons should be. If they want to fire their ballistae they have to keep one of their sides facing the pirate galleon.)

The Dunmer merchant cursed as the shots tore holes into their sails and his ship slowed down to a crawl.

"Men, we're going to be boarded!" The Dunmer captain assumed.

On the trade ship there was only a handful of warriors, mercenaries that the Dunmer hired to protect them. The rest were merchants and sailors, not people that would put their lives on the line. The mercenaries only accounted for one forth of the caravel's crew, about half a dozen people.

Caius looked over to Cassander and then back to Edgard. "I assume you're familiar with King Cassander of Daggerfall."

Edgard looked over to the monarch. "Yes, of course. His majesty is my father's liege."

"You will be sailing with him on his ship. He'll be escorting you back to Betony." Caius said.

"It would be an honor, sire." He told Cassander.

Caius then told them dismissed the boy. "Be ready to depart within the next few days."

The guards escorted Edgard Baelborne out of the room.

Once he was gone, Caius said. "Cassander, you will serve as bait with the boy on board the Virene. No doubt the Raiders meant to kill him and his uncle when they attacked their ship, they were the targets as there was nothing else of value on board a diplomatic vessel." He looked to the Bosmer spy. "Lorchel, you will leak information of the lordling's departure on Cassander's ship. Make sure the scum know."

The Bosmer spy nodded. "I'll make sure the Orcs discover about the voyage, your majesty."
