Queen Edwinna read the letters that had arrived in Wayrest. Since her husband's incident had left him bedridden, the Queen had taken over the day to day tasks of ruling the kingdom.

As she read Jovron's message, she muttered to herself on the throne. "This is quite interesting...Marcel should hear about this."

''However, it matters little. ''She thought. ''Wayrest was never involved in these wars. Learning all this won't cause us to jump into action. Though it might make Marcel rethink his daughter's engagement to Prince Crendal.''

Though after thinking for a moment she sighed. ''Marcel is too stubborn of a man to go back on his word, even if what this letter says about Perien is true. He won't break his alliance with the High King, he doesn't betray people. That attitude of his was one of the reasons I came to love him after our marriage but in this case it might come back to bite us.''

Damian's glare turned cold when he read the letters. "That bastard thinks he can come after me...Ha. It would've been better for everyone if this Jovron had been there at the Wedding. I could've taken him out as well as finished another player before they were able to enter the board. Now we've got another King wanting to make a claim, though this won't end any different than with the young Roberto. Soon Jovron will find himself in Oblivion along with the other losers of the great game."

He held the letters over the candle to his right and they caught fire.

"Being bold like this is stupid, but precisely the kind of thing you'd expect from a Stentor. These letters won't earn him any allies. All they will do is anger his enemies." Damian continued to mutter.

Jovron's letters arrived in Shornhelm, addressed to King Emeric.

The Duke Dilborn Hawkford of Meir, the Duchy under King Emeric, also received a letter like most of the nobles.

"A Lariat." He said, his voice rather shocked. "So the line didn't end with Gaban after all." he smiled. The Hawkfords were die-hard Lariat Loyalists. It was the reason they had refused to back Emeric as King against the Rebels despite the Lariat line having supposedly died off. They didn't accept anyone but the Lariats to rule over them as Kings.

Now that another one has shown themselves...

"What will you do, father?" The Duke's son asked.

"Fetch me the Castallen. I need to write a letter." Dilborn ordered.

His son nodded and headed off.
