Chapter 324: The Assembly (6, 7) (2/2)
She did the sa on Jon and the result was the same as Jarl Korir at first… but the y, the deeper the abyss was
At first, she could scry Jon's soul easily but to check if there is an anoot, the wider it becomes
'What is that?'
Sybille was not a human but rather a vampire She can be counted as an undead and she has already seen a lot in her life but that… it ay too much
'What kind of a human was that? Can that be still called a human?'
Undead can shed no sweat but the shi+vers she had were all real She was in front of a hu hue for his body It is impossible to trap such a soul in a Black Soul Ge of Worms] and the [Wolf Queen] the and finally his expressions changed He grinned widely and simply blocked the connection that Sybille established with him
”NO WAIT!” Sybille freaked out once the mystic connection was severed
”You have already achieved your purpose, more than that is toowas already waiting for the results on the edge of his chair
Sybille turned around and nodded
”… Thane Jon… he is a human… no vampirism detected so it means he cannot use hypnosis with his eyes He is also very healthy mentally and physically… if I am not mistaken, he is also blessed by multiple Divines”
Just what answer can beto Jon? He let Sybille see what he wanted to see with ease
A s on his face as he simply looked around
”Gods! He is blessed”
”Wait! Will we get cursed for not standing for hiht! What have we done?”
Soer a while ago were already in a hysteria once again Only glares froher Ups quietened them down
”I conclude that there is no mind control whatsoever between Thane Jon and Jarl Korir and the [Helm of Winterhold] is clean” Sybille said and walked behind the Throne hurriedly, she needed some time to think of what she experienced
This was said by none other than Solitude's court e Jon and Korir were in trouble no more rather, Solitude and the Alliance were in trouble
Now Winterhold is offended and Jon is s and Falk saw that so, it hen Jon and Torygg played a ga, Jon would fool his opponent with siames In the Gwent, he played with the minimum amount of cards not to li useless cards and hefront the first round to force his opponent to back down only to coer the second round In court, Jon let Erikur take out all the garbage, he stood silently when Erikur accused hi Jarl Korir and acted violently when Erikur's aid was about to check This was not done whiuilty and luring Solitude to press further into the matter, once all was done and Jon was viewed innocent, he can now have every right to slap back
Jon misled the Royal Court of Skyrim and led them by the nose to this point The sense of crisis was already useless
Erikur couldn't believe any of that The reports he got were all verified 100 Jon Dare and his [Black Pigeons] can never interfere with the inforht his infor
The Helm was not cursed Korir was not enthralled
He was a fool… way too fool He should have known that Jon would never enter the Blue Palace with Jarl Korir being mind-controlled
”But… how?”
There was no possible answer to such a thing anymore Still, someone answered
”Your Grace” Jarl Korir stepped forward and stood in front of Jon ”I was accused of being enthralled and Thane Jon was slandered way too much because of that I know I had a coes happen Change is sacred, change is inevitable Two years ago, my hold and I were under the control of pirates I couldn't voice any co I was responsible for was taken a hostage and that includes ood locals
I am sure the other holds are already aware of what kind of predicament Winterhold was in but still, no one cared No one cared for over 80 years We couldn't do anything and the College of Winterhold shut its door for their own reasons Yes, things would have changed if the College decided to stick around and save Winterhold but triggering any animosity with the locals was always too ry locals too
As people fled Winterhold year after year we couldn't co! I know I bla but I realized where I was ic or es, it was always us… people! We look down on each other, rob each other, undero into a bloody civil war for what? And to what purpose?
For 80 years, Winterhold waited for Jon Dare Thane Jon said that we are not in the age of heroes anye of Heroes He is right, Ulfric is an old relic but he is also wrong, the Age of Heroes is not over as Jon Dare is also a Hero, the 'Hero of Winterhold' and I dare you to say a word about that, I'll slap you all
This man is a Nord The Nordest Nord you can ever see, he's a Cleverue, he's a Warrior And you all questioned him and slandered him He kneill happen and told me beforehand Thank the Nine I already knew this will happen or else
The East of Skyrim never cared for the West and the West was always foolhardy and Nordic Don't get , this is not raciser and hate but Jon Dare ca', 'Winterhold will be great again', 'Let's rebuild the Hold of Ysgramor, the town of Shalidor, the City of the First Men' He had a plan to free Winterhold and stepped up to it when no one else did for 80 years He told er that won't cost ot us
Now, you all want to say that I was enthralled or Thane Jon is corrupt? Well, you got my full attention Those who accused the Hero of Winterhold of anything bad are to be judged… Thane Jon, they are yours”
Jarl Korir returned to his seat after a heated speech
For the very first tih history, the Old Capital of Winterhold is de an explanation of the New Capital of Solitude
Jon stepped forward and looked at King Torygg and Erikur
”Your Grace, Winterhold subainst Thane Erikur I, the Thane of Winterhold accuse Erikur the Thane of Haafingar with the Attempt of Defa Unauthorized Searches outside his Area of Jurisdiction, Public Sha Innocent People with the Cri the Ethics of noble Standards in the Royal Court in front of an I Discord between many Business Partners… As well as more than fifty other accusations all will be issued and presented to the court”
Jon (the lawyer) was going berserk with all the crimes that came to his mind The Scribe of the assembly was already at a loss of what to record and what not to record
”Thane Jon, this is enough” Falk Firebeard stood forward ”Please file your co today events, the Internal Affairs of the Blue Palace will handle it”
”Good I expect answers and fair cohtest in front of the Court of Solitude
The tension was clear Solitude won't insult Jon Dare and expect it to go away They have to pay
Falk looked at Torygg and the latter was still evaluating the situation
”Don't take it too far, Jon Dare”
Sadly, Torygg's words came too late and the one who spoke was the one who shouldn't speak, Erikur
”Too far? You took it too far, why don't I take it at least as far as you did You are going down and going down hard, why don't you siranted the benefit of ad them” Jon returned the sa your luck” Erikur was already boiling with anger
”It is a good luck that one of mine, I can push it all the way to Oblivion and come back alive Did it a few tiht that you can kill me by just a few accusations that you couldn't even build a case on How disappointing!” Jon turned around to his seat
”Kill you?” Erikur questioned with a funny face ”Kid, I wasn't even trying”
Jon halted his steps Everyone looked Erikur whose expressions were not good, he was looking at Jon with vicious eyes
”If I wanted to kill you, I should shame you first, destroy your reputation and ed to trick the court so You don't know it yet but your fate was already set in stone”
Erikur's words were not co from the usual him The people of the court could tell that the twist in Erikur's face was coh Elf who coret Sadly, that High Elf was shouted away by Jon and Erikur has no leash
Jon's eyes narrowed and walked back to Erikur
”Do it, take your best shot Tell whoever you brought to take it I will give you the firstsmile
Erikur was unfazed
”I ao around here, we don't kill you with our knives, we make you walk into your own death… fully aware”
”Yeah, good luck with that”
Jon no longer bothered
Erikur giggled and spoke to Jon
”You think you are safe You think your faht You built Winterhold so no one can hurt your people Well done! But you are already drowning in your own success, surely you won't see that one co”
”??” Jon didn't understand what Erikur fully but he was sure that Erikur has done so Still, Jon couldn't point at anything he missed His plans were perfect yet Erikur seemed very sure
”Yes, that's the face I wanted to see, hahahaha!” Erikur was drunk in a victory only he knew about
”Erikur Cut it out!” Falk see asked
Still, Erikur was looking at Jon not wanting toexpressions he captured
”Speak, slime” Jon too was at the end of his patience
”Why don't you wait? You will know soon enough We all will”
”Erikur!” Thane Bryling shouted at Erikur to wake him from his state of madness
Erikur looked at her with a sneer and looked at Jon again
”Fine, I will give you a hint Let's say… Orsinium doesn't invite Nords that often”
None could understand what Erikur meant but Jon's eyes blinked a few tiuess what Erikur meant and shot up from their seats
Those who saw Jon's face already realized that the crisis is unavoidable
In the next second, hurried footsteps could be heard couard running as fast as he could with a letter
”A calling fronoring everyone and gave the letter to Falk
The Atmosphere was too unstable to withstand another surprise but Jarl Igmund and his aides were are also stood up
Falk read the letter and has expressions crumund, there is a situation in the Reach The Clans around Markarth and the Foresworn all started fighting!”
Only a few could guess that the two situations regarding Markarth and Erikur are connected Erikur himself was taken aback for a second but none could foresee what happened next
”VIIK MAH THAAR!” (Defeat, Fall, Obey)
Jon shouted the [Tyranny Shout] All who heard the shout fell on their knees
