Julien headed inside the keep and told his Knight-Captain to getch his father. He waited in the throne room for the Lord to arrive.

"Lord Roderic, as we had previously discussed, I will be leaving Dunkarn Haven if your care after today." Julien said when the Lord arrived.

Roderic nodded. "It is an honor to be picked, my king. I will not fail you."

"Good." Julien said. "By now I am sure you saw the scene outside."

"In the village square? Yes. Grusome business." Roderic replied.

"It seems that some citizens are not going to stay civil. I would do something now, but my army is departing today. As such I leave it up to you to deal with the rebels. If this persists, I give you permission to put the village to the sword. Any villagers that cooperate with the purge may be spared." Julien told him. He had no love for the people of the village. To him they were trespassing on his lands. The only reason he let them all live was because he was a "kind man".

Lord Roderic bowed. "Of course, my king. I will deal with them swiftly."

"Yes, this spy may not have caused too much damage now, but in the future he could prove very troublesome." Roberto said. "Any suggestions on how to deal with this spy?"

"Joslin." Marcel called out to his daughter before she could turn around and leave. "High King Perien has proposed a betrothal between you and Prince Crendal. This is the best match you can possibly get! You can't refuse this one as well!" He said firmly.

"I can and I will." Joslin replied and began to turn around.

Marcel stood up from his throne. "Joslin, I don't think you understand me. I won't let you refuse this time. It has been many years since you became a woman and you have yet to marry. I will not have my only daughter remain single her whole life. Crendal La Roche is the best possible match, a chance like this won't come again. it is now or never and I will not say no to the High King."

Joslin was taken a little back by her father's firmness. He usually stopped the discussion whenever she refused, but it was clear this was not one of those times. He was not backing down this time. "Father, you can't force me to marry someone."

"As King I can." Marcel retorted. "If I command you to marry the Prince you must."

"And if I refuse?! Will you arrest me? Lock me up?!" Joslin demanded.

Marcel took a little to answer. "If you refuse, I will put you into house arrest. You will no longe be able to leave your section of the castle. Is that what you want?! Don't make me do it, Joslin. Accept the betrothal and end this rebellious nature."
