”Two barrels, I think”
”Ooooh! I think I outdid myself this tiover reet dressed in those”
I handed Jon Battle-Born a clean robe that I prepared beforehand He was already cleaned up in the river and everything was going well

”damn, Jon! You found your real father?”
”Yes, but it's a secret, Jon He is way too ugly to relate to me”
”… Well, I don't think… whatever, Jon”
I carried Jon Battle-Born with [Telekinesis] and fleith [Levitate], I took me nearly five minutes to cross the woods of Riverwood atover cities was banned throughout the Empire so we had to land outside the city in a hidden place then run to the city gate as fast as we could Once ere checked out, we headed towards the Grey-Mane manor
The one who met us first was Wulfur
”Where in Oblivion have you been?” He asked
”In Oblivion, the shi+vering Isles to be exact… anyway, is everything okay?” I said
”Not really, the Imperial Spies showed up It see around”
”What? What did those fuckers do?” Jon Battle-Born turned pale in an instant
”They cauests Of course, they will try to cause discord between the families so you should be wary Also, you are late The Elders are getting ie of that”
”danified and follow my lead” I said
”What will you do?”
”I will be your lawyer… I reed on what to do, Jon Battle-Born walked in with two ans behind him (Wulf and I) The old 'White Wolves' teaht that as the Elders and thearound the fire pit in the Grey-Mane manor, they were Olfrid and Idolaf Battle-Born, Eorlund and Vignar Grey-Man, Jarl Balgruuf the Greater, as well as other esteeentlemen from around Whiterun Behind the seats of the men where the seats of the women, I could see Alina and Olfina as well as the other old and young ladies
The gazes that fill on Jon Battle-Born were heavy and sharp He looked around and walked right in
”Father, Father-in-Law”
The two nodded to hi
”You are late” Thorald Grey-Mane spoke
”Oh, yes, brother-in-laas busy doing et into these fancy robes” Jon deflected Thorald s further
Jon Battle-Born wasthis event Still, the Elders didn't seeure it out as Jarl Balgruuf was here and he still was the head of Whiterun and had to say a word for the sake of courtesy Yet he looked troubled and the next words didn't come from him but from the Imperial man beside him
”I heard it is very rude to be late for your wedding here in Skyrieneration is not that much into traditions” The man talked to the people around hiathering
As the Elders heard what he said, signs of dissatisfaction started to appear in their eyes The Imperial was indeed bold but Jon Battle-Born was still at fault
”Uncles, Jarl Balgruuf, esteeathering
”Thane Jon Dare” ”Thane Jon” ”…”
The people nodded to greeting and focused on ht, my brothers and I went on one of those bachelor parties where things go wrong in every inconceivable was Very funny was last night, I rebrew barrels on his own… quiet the sight, believe me” I said and turned around to face the other direction of the gathering
”But that's not what is iathered here today to celebrate life and success and that's e'll be doing What I love o and how far can we sacrifice for the things we desire and the ones we love A o to the ends of Nirn to protect what he desires, to bash through what hinders hiht for the sake of his loved ones, now that's a man I can trust” I said as I patted the shoulder of Jon Battle-Born
”Oh… if they know things we do for love” I turned around and faced Alina and Jullanar ere standing at the back The Elders ere sitting around nodded to those last words of mine
”We Nords value tradition above all else and honor the forefathers and boast with their glories all day long Grey-Manes, the finest smiths in the land! Battle-Borns, the wealthiest traders! All with grand history and far glory that reaches the naroammor”
”Yeah!” ”Well said!”
The people started to finally heat up
”Yesterday whenintoof the fairestfor her, sos honor to her name I, as a dead drunk back then, rand deed” I started to pull the interest of the people aroundup things
”That night, my brother Jon Battle-Born went on his ohen everyone was passed out with a sword in hand and entered the forest to the south He swore to hunt a hty beast for the sake of Olfina”
