"Aye." Jovron muttered. He clenched his fist, the thought of the Red Wedding making him angry. However, he managed to calm down somewhat and told the knight. "Well you're welcome here, allies of my brother are allies of mine. No one will think to look for rebels here, so you'll be safe from pursuit."

Cirges was glad to hear that. He hadn't known what kind of man Jovron was, he barely remembered the boy from when he used to live in Jehanna. He may be a Crow, but he is still a Stentor. He understood. The scarred man stepped up and approached the Knight-Commander.

"What are you..." Carrik began to say before he stopped.

Sir Cirges knelt before Jovron, which surprised all the Crows in the courtyard. Cirges was wearing tattered clothes and was very disfigured from the torture, he had numerous scars, he was very malnourished and his hair had begun to fall out, as well as him missing one hand. "I am Sir Cirges, Knight-Captain of the Knights of the Axes. King Jovron Stentor, I pledge myself into your service."

Jovron didn't know what to say. The revelation was such a shock to him that he didn't even notice that Cirges called him king. Cirges didn't look like a knight but he did remember the name Cirges. He had last seen the Knight when he had gone with his father and sister to Shornhelm to serve as their guard. Jovron had gone with them part of the way, before splitting off and heading to the Black Fortress. As he remembered that time he recalled the knight's face, despite the disfigurement. "Sir Cirges, you're one of father's men. You went with him to the capital..."

"Aye. I served under your father, and your brother. It was King Roberto that promoted me to Knight-Captain. I was with him in Thorkhan Park, but I managed to survive the Bouchard's betrayal." Cirges revealed.

"How?" Jovron asked.

"The bast...the Duke's son Rallaume captured me and I was his prisoner ever since the wedding. He was the one that did...this to me." Cirges replied. "Your highness, do you accept my service?"

Jovron had so many questions to ask him, but he saw that the Crows were gathering to see what was going on. ''I can't let this get too out of hand. ''"I accept, Sir Cirges."

The frail knight stood back up. "I will serve you to the best of my abilities." ''Even though that won't amount to much now...I still possess much knowledge that will come in handy for the King. I will need to convince him to come with me to rescue Princess Arielle from the Bouchards, and to take his rightful place as King of Jehanna. Rob's will named him the heir, so even if he is a bastard, he is the rightful king.''
