(I've already got something planned for Perien and Bellisa, it will happen soon. But Jovron's story needs to advance first. Besides, her brother was using her as a tool way before she married Perien. Her overcoming him would be more impactful.)

"You think people will follow you?" Linwen asked. "What you propose will put you in a lot of danger."

"No more than I currently am in." Jov replied. "Perien and his allies already want me dead. Daggerfall's army is to the south in Evermore. Soon enough they will reach here and I will have to fight them. For my sake and for Relien's. Sharing the truth might gain me some much needed allies."

"I suppose so. This Perien's claim to the throne is dodgy at best, so you may yet turn a few heads by revealing your identity." She agreed.

Jov nodded. "Right." He got up from the couch. "I should get back to Jehanna. I'll need the Master of Laws to copy these letters so that I can send it them off to all corners of the province."

"I'll be coming with you. There is no more reason for me to be confined to this estate."

The two left the Blackthorn estate and headed back to the city.

Along the way, Linwen said. "Black and gold suits you."

"Huh?" Jov asked.

"Your armor, it looks nice on you." She said with a soft smile.

"Thanks...mother." He muttered. It still felt a little odd to him saying that. Having his mother with him after so many years was very strange.

When they arrived in Jehanna, Jovron introduced Linwen to Relien and the others.

"I can't believe you found your mother after all this time." Jeanne said.

Ygfa nodded. "Indeed, it is quite good news."

"I'm so happy for you, brother. Congratulations." Relien said. However, there was a hint of sadness in his voice. His own mother was gone, killed at the Red Wedding alongside Rob. He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of Jov for having his mother back.

"I thank you for your kindness in letting me stay here in the castle, King Relien." Linwen told the young king.

"Its...its nothing. You're Jov's mom, so you're practically family." He replied.

As Linwen talked with the young king, Jovron headed over to the Master of Laws' office. The original had died during the Evermore occupation of the city, so the current master of laws was appointed by Jovron himself during his tenure as King. She was a Nord named Aella, had been a bookeeper at a local library before the revolt that overthrew Roland.

"Aella, I need you to copy these." He said, handing her the letters. There were three papers that he handed her. Two were Gaban's letters, the third was his own. A self proclamation that he wrote for all the realm to hear.

I, Jovron, legitimized son of Gaban Lariat and Linwen of Alinor, hereby claim the seat of High King as well as the kingdom of Shornhelm.

''Let all true men declare for me, against the kingslayers that now sit my rightful thrones. Perien La Rouche and Emeric Auld were responsible for the death of my biologicaly father, Gaban Lariat, murdering him with poison and blaming the death on my foster father, Edgar Stentor. Perien then claimed my father's throne after my half-brother/sister died during birth and gave the city of Shornhelm to his accomplice, Emeric. They have no right to either of those crowns. Their treachery doesn't stop there. Perien was instrumental in the planning of the Red Wedding alongside Duke Roland Bouchard and King Damian Solance. Roland has already been punished for his crimes by me, but I call onto you to fight those criminals with me so that they may be brought to justice for the deaths of not only High King Gaban but also for the deaths of Edgar Stentor, Roberto Stentor, Callie Stentor and all those that died during the Red Wedding.''

High King Jovron Lariat.

"Jovron...how many copies do you need?" Aella asked after glancing at the letters.

"As many as you can send out. I want as many people as possible to see these." He stated.
