*Within Northelm's keep*
*Lord Estly arrives*
Lord Estly: Your grace, this letter came from House Verdunt and Corova
*The King opens the letter and reads - "Sir Junas, of House Verdunt, will be marrying Lady Marriane, of House Corova. Uniting the two houses... *he skips ahead* The King Warden Castellan, King of the North, has been invited to join the marriage held at the Glacial Verdant..." - The King stops reading... And he said "The two uniting?"*
*Lord Estly replied "I also recieve my own, your grace. They've invited us to their houses, I do not think you should go, your grace, I think Lord Verdunt has not forgotten..." he said in worry of the King*
*King Warden said "It was inevitable for his wife, we would have lost the revolution if we have done that. But its from the past, nonetheless, I am king, I must attend to their marriage, atleast, they will not be as angry as if I will not"*
*Lord Estly replied "As you wish your grace". Followed with a bow*
*The king again said to Lord Estly "Gorgon, your loyalty to me is very much great, I respect that. I just want you to know that if ever those two houses were likely enough to do something...unimaginable"*
*Lord Estly interrupted and willingly said "Your grace, thank you, and if they were to do that, I will lead all of my men and slay them and destroy their houses"*
*The King said "No!" He replied and continued "it will tear up the kingdom apart, if something happens to me Lord Estly, guide my son and daughter, perhaps, they will make a better leader than I do"*
*Lord Estly then said "Your grace, I will follow your wishes as best as I can..."*
*King Warden replies "Your best is enough, come Lord Estly, I'm sure those two houses are waiting for us"*
*And the two lords, along with some of their men, rides to the House Verdunt's stronghold castle, The Glacial Verdant*
