Chapter 324: The Assembly (6, 7) (1/2)
A/n: Okay, folks This is a 5K word chapter originally had to be two separate chapters (Normal and Extra by comes to you by DarkPriest) Still, the events forced me to put thes are getting Messy for Jon! It will be chaos and mayhem If you didn't drop the novel by the next 10 chapters, you will have a good surprise! Just saying!
En(freakin)joy!
Erikur had another chip in hand He looked at Jarl Korir and grinned
”You! Who in Oblivion are you?” He said while pointing at Korir
Jon narrowed his eyes and the people around felt that this was still far from over Jon won the first round but there was that little thing that was still in their minds
Jarl Korir!
”What do you mean? How dare you address a Jarl like that?” Jarl Korir said
”Really now?” The grin on Erikur's face greider ”You are the Jarl Korir? The one we know? The one who caes', 'banish the College from Winterhold', 'they ruined the hold' and whatnot? You don't sound like the sae, he took e and ic You, the same Jarl that no one ever heard a word of for two years are, now coes as if they are your next of kin Isn't this suspicious, folks?”
He looked between Jon and Korir This was his final card, the sure one
”I will adood businesse to start a business in his hold let alone appoint him a thane no matter what The man in front of you look like Jarl Korir, sounds like him, speaks andand during the first rest But did it answer any of the questions we had? No How could Jon Dare become the Thane? The answer is simple, Thane Jon put a spell the ic and we all know it is possible I looked into that matter and it all started the day he retrieved that very hel That helm was used by Jon Dare to manipulate Jarl Korir Many people in Winterhold are aware of the fact yet no one cared for their own convenience But this… this is a court of law Jon Dare, release Jarl Korir fro over of authority of a part of Skyrim and the Empire is treason punishable by death Release hiht another day”
All eyes landed on Jon waiting for his reaction but he kept an expressionless face
”You scuot ets arrested for slandering the Jarl of Winterhold” Jarl Korir lashed at Erikur
”No, Jarl Korir You will thank htily ”Jon Dare, last chance! You can't win this Your coo to waste if you don't cooperate We will give you the benefit of ads”
Jon didn't move a muscle, bat an eye or draw a breath He was still
”Your Grace, this is too”Thane Erikur has slandered me, my hold and my loyal Thane for too much Thane Jon said that he will take on whatever Thane Erikur throws at hi them will result for consequences Severe ones!”
Jarl Korir wasstance for Jon but sadly no one believed hi that these people were sure of was that Jon was reallyKorir It was the only possible answer for Korir's transfor stood up from his chair and everyone else did
”Thane Erikur, that's enough!” He suppressed Erikur
Everyone looked at Torygg thinking that he is going to sacrifice a Jarl for the sake of a Thane Korir was known to be an inco wanted to give the title of the Jarl to Jon to avoid this conversation
Still, Jon refused the title But now is not the tirow to their full potential and surely what Jon Dare achieved won't be torn apart The least punishet his title stripped and his assets confiscated Hethis one The croill be forced to appoint soon Company] and everyone kneho coveted this position theOver of Authority' is thein this rooo ivable
”Your Grace…” Jarl Korir wanted to say soic works and I didn't learn much about the arcane arts What Thane Erikur said raises a strong point that I can't ive ated”
Jarl Korir seemed frustrated but Jon was as silent as ever The two of theated and questioned and surely they didn't like it
Erikur was all s for him, the latter stepped forward towards Jarl Korir Jon saw that and his poker face turned to a frown He didn't want this curse of events to take this turn
”Back off, Elf This is not the day I get judged by a Thal out of control The red Battle-Spirit of the Tyrant was getting thicker around him and made him look like the devil
Those ere around hi was spared from the suppressive sensation that h Elf e could barely stand in front of Jon's stare It was a beast and prey One wrong move and death is inevitable
Sadly Jon wanted hi at his place Jon's expressions twisted into pure anger and he spoke
”FAAS!” (Fear!)
A word of poas unleashed froh Elf could keep up no ht of a powerfulThe Iht in his chest by the a intent was real All of the people here were in the presence of a nized the Thu'um very well A power only the fiercest of the Nord Commanders could employ at the Great War and a lot of Elves were shouted to pieces, most of the veterans couldn't help but remember the days
The [Dismay] shout that Jon unleashed was only one word but it caused Melaran to collapse and run off like a rat
Jon suppressed his Aura once again and then looked at High King Torygg
Never in his days did Torygg experience such an Aura The people who kept their ground in this rooruuf who seemund barely sat at the end of his chair and Jarl Korir was completely composed The Imperial Ambassador and soh to withstand Jon who didn't even move a on Tongue and most of the people were about to fall and worshi+p
Torygg realized the lared at Erikur who acted way too comfortable Jon clearly was not the sao It was a rown in two years but the groas shocking He as a Junior is nowonly looked at the woman at the other end of the rooht and swift, she walked completely unbothered by Jon and stood in front of hier This one is on us, but please do mind that you are in the Blue Palace”
Jon looked down at her with his eyes and finally nodded after a long breath
”I apologize, Your Grace, Lady Sybille”
She nodded and looked towards Jarl Korir Everyone held their breath as Sybille Stentor stepped in
She was going to be the judge
”My Jarl, may I?” She asked Korir with a polite tone of a Breton and he sighed and took off the [Helm of Winterhold]
Sybille took the Hel, he nodded and she held the [Helht enveloped the Helic power of the helht of her spell fades as quickly as it was cast She kept looking at the Helm for a while with a weird look in her eyes She frowned for a second and tilted her head in the other
”Seriously?” That's was her i in anticipation for her answer but she checked again and again
”Miss Stentor” Falk Firebeard urged her to talk
”Eh! Ah… well, here is the thing There are ic traces on the Hel?”
”It means that this Hel since faded There is no e silence took over the place
”… Huh?”
It was understandable Jon's actions up until noere really suspicious He refused to answer Erikur's questions about putting a spell on the o hen Erikur's attendant stepped up to check the Helm
”That's… i what Sybille said
Sybille turned her head towards that poor fool and her glare was enough to make him shi+ver
”If it is not the Hel else It has to be” Erikur's face was red with anger as he said so
All eyes landed on Jon once again who simply didn't show any sort of e widely
'I am the one who inherited [Ahzidal's Genius]! Do you simply think you can read an enchantment I made if I want to hide it?'
[A/n: (reminder) [Ahzidal's Genius] is the power bestowed on Jon when he equips four ite]
Jon has indeed disguised the traces of the Enchantment he erased from the Helm to make it look like an old enchantes Not even Nurina could tell the difference
Still, the matter wasn't over The Helize, , just a little Divination spell” Sybille turned to Korir
She wasn't sure she would find anything now
Korir glanced at the people around hier
”This is a stark humiliation Your Grace, I will comply with your will but after this is over, Winterhold has a long list of complaints” Jarl Korir said
”You havereplied
”My Jarl, if you have any enchanted item on you, it may interfere with my test” Sybille said
”I don't Carry on”
Sybille nodded and evoked a spell, Jon kept observing with his eyes and could tell that the spell is a very advanced one Sybille seemed to be well versed in Divination and Detection spells
Her spell doesn't even touch Korir but it was soic detection ability while observing any nal Jarl Korir is in perfect health ical effect on him at all”
The terees Thisall the glares
Sybille still didn't stop and turned to Jon
”Thane Jon If you excuse h! Fine” Jon sighed and tabbed with his feet on the ground
His strange action had a stranger response, fro black hat appeared She ay too cute for anyone to handle and she stood next to Jon
”Help ) and his cloak hell, he even took off an Aave all the stuff to Nefertiti
The sirl carried all the Jon-sized stuff between her small arms and was almost buried in them She turned around to a s
The table siht and looked at the people around with scared expressions
”… sorry”
”Just put them away” Jon said
She still had the Haven Cube in her hand Just like Jon, she clapped once and all his stuff disappeared in the cube
It ay too weird of a situation and as if they all forgot about Jon, all the people looked at Nefertiti with blank expressions
'A s so heavy… wait! Why was it that heavy? Still, she carried it easily and did the saoing on?'
Nefertiti was nore people around caused her to just stay beside Jon like a scared little kid
”Can we get done with it?” Jon said
Sybille acted as if she couldn't hear Jon and kept staring at Nefertiti Soirl appeared She couldn't even see her co One must know that Sybille's most important role was to identify threats around Solitude and tell who is coht Not just that, Nefertiti was powerful, very powerful to just ignore and all she could feel that she would lose sight of that kid once her eye gets away fro enough for Sybille to wake up froht… sorry!” Sybille couldn't be in a daze ”
