"My surrender?" Elyas asked, not sure if Damian was joking or not. He awkwardly chuckled. "King Damian, you are mistaken if you think I will be the one surrendering. I have the larger army as well as your capital surrounded. You've betrayed your former allies so there is no one to come and help you."

Damian kept a calm look. "You are wrong on one account."

"What would that be?" Ivara asked.

"I am not without allies." Damian told her, smirking at his mother. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter. He placed it on the table and passed it over to Elyas and his mother. While they opened it, he took a sip of wine.

The Camlorn king examined the seal on the letter. "This bears the seal of the La Rouche family..." He muttered.

"Indeed it does." Damian said. "Very well observed."

King Pelgrin suspected what the letter might contain, but still he opened it...

''I, High King Perien La Rouche of High Rock, King of Daggerfall and Duke of Wessen Hills, do hereby judge King Damian Solance of Northpoint innocent of the crime of kingslaying and kinslaying. King Damian is found innocent of the crime of murdering his own father, the former king of Northpoint. The king died of natural causes.''

''Any attempts to besmirch the good King Damian's name for a crime he did not commit will be treated as baseless slander. Any attempts at forcefully attempting to bring King Damian to "justice" for a crime he did not commit will be treated as an unlawful attack on his person and property. Those found guilty of said crimes will be punished according to the laws of Northpoint, under the authority of the High King. Any attempts to resist the law will be taken as acts of rebellion against the throne and said rebels will be dealt with accordinly.''

Signed, High King Perien La Rouche.

Ivara could hardly believe it. My son won. She thought.

"As you can see." Damian said, breaking the silence. "That is a high royal decree from the High King himself."

The two took their eyes from the page and locked at the half-breed king.

"I hereby find you guilty." Damian said, smirking.
