"What discussion? Why are you here Luthor? I don't recall asking for your presence." King Julien said. He walked over to Edgar's desk and leaned on it, but didn't sit down. He wasn't in the mood to play games, he wanted to get right to the point.

It was a big moment for Jovron. He had become the leader of the Crows yet he was still a squire when it happened. Now he was a true knight of the Order, and he was knighted by the one man the others wanted as a leader more than him. Lyon having knighted him in front of everyone would no doubt put an end the bickering within the ranks on who should really lead them.

Jovron stood up and pulled his sword from the ground. He then sheathed it and looked into Lyon's eyes. "Thank you, Sir Lyon."

"It was my duty and my pleasure to be the one to knight you, Sir Jovron." Lyon replied and pulled in his relative for a hug once more.

With the battle over the rounded up Orcs were guarded while the army rested. They would only depart back to the Black Fortress with the Orc prisoners on the morrow. From there the living Orcs would be escorted out of High Rock where they would no longer cause problems for the province.

It was dark already in the village. King Rob had been visited by the healers once more, to continue his healing, and had dinner in his tent.

All the while his mother kept him constant companionship.

He laid there in his bed, not really able to get to sleep at this hour, and watched his mother. She was sitting on the chair next to his bed. Under the eyes were bags from her poor sleep in the past few days. She looked exhausted.

"Mother." He called to her as he pushed himself up.

She awoke from an uncomfortable nap. "Rob, you shouldn't sit up. Lay back down, get some rest."

"I am rested enough, mother. It is you, on the other hand, that needs her rest." He told her.

The Dowager Queen shook her head. "No, I must stay with you..."

"Mother." He interrupted. "I'm fine now. Just another day of rest and I'll be strong enough to ride. So please. Go to your tent and get some proper sleep."

She saw the look in her son's eyes. He was worried for her health and it showed. "Alright, Rob. I'll see you in the morning. Sleep well." Callie got up from the chair and walked out of the tent, giving her son one final look before leaving.
