(So she must have faded out of existance, because nowhere in your posts does she leave. :P

Sorry Heli, but I'm going to take control of you characters so that I can finish that scene.)

"I see, well that isn't an issue Sir Knights. I was told by my Castallen that you had wished to speak with me yesterday, my apologies for not being able to see you. I trust that the room given to Lady Olen was comforting, given her condition." Jov said.

"I've already said that a ward is not on the table." Jannia said, nearly letting herself get upset and breaking her calm tone.

"That is unfortunate." Crendal said. "Because I will not accept your surrender without one. The war will continue and I will besiege Evermore. I won't be able to guarantee your safety when the city falls to my army, but what I can guarantee you is that Julien will hang for treason."

Jannia felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She remained quiet.

Crendal continued. "Once Julien is punished for his crimes, the Tynes will be stripped of their lands. As the Queen, you will likely be imprisoned and your children will be taken as wards. To be married off to those that wish to gain a claim of Evermore's lands. Trust me, Queen Jannia. Neither of us wants that. But it is what will happen. Justice always finds a away."

"The Hassildors will never let that happen." Luthor stated.

"Hassildors...ah, the Counts of Skingrad. Well Skingrad is a very long way from here. My armies are practically on the doors of Evermore. I'd win the siege before your family is able to send a sizable force here. That is...if the Emperor allows them to." Crendal said.

Luthor grunted. "Even so, we have a force here and Julien has an army. What makes you so sure that you'd win?"

"My army is larger and unlike Julien's, half of it is not made up of a militia." Crendal pointed out. "Victory is assured." He then looked at Jannia. "Now, Queen. Do the sensable thing and surrender. Your son will be well taken care of and you and your family will be safe and still rulers of Evermore."
