Only the castle guards and the Knights would know about the princess' escape and they were ordered to keep their lips shut about it, mostly so King Edgar didn't find out and refuse to confess. Now they would stay quiet so the easterners don't find out. They need a valuable political prisoner like her.)

"They will never mistake one of your men for the King." Ygfa pointed out. "He has been their prisoners for weeks, they will know if he is switched with another."

"It is too dangerous, too many things that could go wrong." Rob said. "I will not put my father in needless danger."

"There is no need for this talk. Order us to march and we will. Show those westernfolk what we are made of." Wilhelm said.

"Excuse me." A guard entered the study and said. "Prince Rob, Sir Cirges has returned to Jehanna. He wishes to speak with you."

"Cirges? He was one of the Knights that went with my father to the capital. Bring him here." Rob ordered.

"It seems your studies of history were not thorough. The Solances have been Northpoint royalty since the 3rd Era, when the Dorell male line went extinct. As long as a Solance is alive the nobles of Northpoint will accept a new royal family. And even then, some of them would claim their own right for the throne. The Crownrings have the strongest claim of Northpoint, since they are a branch family of the Solances." Ivara explained. "Bretons are stubborn when it comes to tradition, and legitimacy is the oldest of traditions."

"Very well. I will leave a decree as Regent, giving you the Kingdom of Shornhelm, as we agreed." Perien left the courtyard, returning to the castle. His daughter and son and already gone inside. Sir Samuel followed the King as he left the courtyard.

"Well, Ivara, I may just have to put them all to the blade. You might have introduced this great game of war to me, but I'm making the rules now. I will find a suitable successor, yes, but it will not be a Solance and it will not be a Crownring. Take rest, Ivara. I must dispatch my ravens and call my noble lords of Camlorn." Elyas said as he started to walk to the door of the great hall.
