"You judging me, Sir Doraleous?" Elyas asked. "I don't have to explain my reasons for siding with the High King to you. I may owe your brother for his kindness, but I don't owe you anything."

Sir Noleon leaned on the railing of the battlements that overlooked the training yard of the castle. He sighed and took a drink from the bottle of mead in his hand.

"I..I can't believe the Prince is dead. The last drop of Bantien blood left in this world was killed." He drank again. He was rather depressed that the family that he had served since he was a boy was now truly gone for good. Crendal was the main reason why he had decided to continue serving High King Perien, but now...

Perien burst into the living room.

Bellisa looked up from the letters that she was reading. They were from the minor nobles of Daggerfall. Invitations to tea, to parties, requests for an audience, so on and so forth. She had managed to build quite the social circle during her time in the city. "Oh, your highness." She paused for a moment and said. "I'm sorry about your children. You have my condolences."

"No matter." Perien said and approached. "Abelle and Crendal may be gone, but there is still hope. There is still a chance for my legacy to live on."

Bellisa lifted an eyebrow. "Are you alright, your highness?" She asked. He is acting rather strange. She put down the letters and put her hands together, touching her left wrist with her right hand to make sure it was still there.

"My children are dead, yes, but I need only make more." He was now standing next to the couch, looming over her.

"You should rest, your highness. You don't seem alright." She said.

"No time." He snapped and grabbed her shoulder. "I cannot let it wait a moment more. It already takes 9 months after the deed."

She tried to shrug him off but it didn't work. She then tried to push his hand away, but he caught her arm with his other hand. He tried to push her down. "Let go of me!" She demanded when he began assaulting her.

He gripped the dress on her shoulder and pulled it, ripping the sleeve. He managed to push her down, however Perien was an old man so Bellisa was able to kick him off her.

She got up quickly. "Don't you dare touch me!" She yelled at him.

"You are my wife, do your duty and make me heirs!" He yelled back and tried to grab her again.

Though this time, Bellisa reached into her left sleeve and pulled out the dagger that her brother had given her when he was still in Daggerfall. She slashed at Perien, cutting him in the face.

"Argh!" He yelled and retreated, putting his hands on his face.

Bellisa ran out of the room just as Sir Samuel ran in. She didn't look back and darted through the halls.

Samuel went over to the High King to check on him.

Perien pushed him away. "Go after her!"

Samuel nodded. The mute knight ran off after Bellisa, but he soon lost her.

Bellisa left the castle and went to the city, deciding to hide with the Buckinghams at their manor. She had dirt on Lord Buckingham so they wouldn't give her to the High King.
