Sigea sat in her bedroom early in the morning, reading through old documents in the court archives. She was only a novice when it came to reading, but had plenty of help from her steward, Isvred, in case she stumbled on a word or sentence. The documents were of previous Stormcloak generals and their experiences. There were even a few from Ulfric Stormcloak himself, written down by his steward, Jorleif. Not only being fairly new to the notion of being Jarl, but also potentially a leader of all of Skyrim, she felt a bit insecure about her role in this. She took comfort in the fact that Ulfric too had only just become Jarl when he started the rebellion and still did exceptionally well with his situation. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door. It was Isvred, who spoke out: "Milady, I would like to remind you that the court will hold audience in five minutes. You need to be present there."

Sigea closed her books and put them back in the archive shelves. She asked: "Should we not be discussing strategies for the war? The Imperials are likely to have caught wind of the rebellion and we need to be ready."

"Have no fear, milady. I have shortened it to be only an hour. We will prioritize the war efforts, but it is of value that you meet and speak to your own people so they don't feel neglected.

"You know I would never neglect my people, Isvred. Ever since I came to Windhelm, their protection has become my purpose. But I hope that I will be able to protect the rest of Skyrim too." Sigea blushed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed over saying something so sappy. She shook it off and continued: "Well then. The court awaits. Lets get this over with."
