He rode until He reached the camp and got off the horse and began to limp to Jardiˋs tent. He looked at Jardi as He sat by the table and said to her.

"My Lord! I have something to report..." Jardi looked up at him and said with a serious look on his face. "Why arnt You with the others in the attack on that Sealth village?"

The man lookes at him and said. "I were... We lost the battle but I got away after I got captured and..." Jardi lookes at him and said with a bit of anger in his eyes.

"Lost? How?" His heart began to beat a little bit fast in his chest as He said to Jardi. "Q-Queen Arendea was fighting along side Yerdonˋs forces... We didnt stand a chance and We had to retreat and..."

Jardi lookes at him and said with anger on his face. "Youˋre telling me, that You lost against my Cousinˋs Wife? So tell me why are You here? Did You come here to begg for forgiveness for You and the othersˋs failure to attack the Sealthˋs village?"

The man looked at him and said while Eria sat on the bed reading a book. "N-No thatˋs not why I came to You my Lord, I came to tell You that..."

Jardi got up from his chair and walked over to him and said. "Tell me what? that Youˋre a pathetic exouse and that You should be executed for deserting?"

The man looked at Jardi with a pleading look in his eyes and said. "Thatˋs not, please... My Lord, just hear me out its..." Jardi punched him in the gut and pinned him at the wooden pole and said to him.

"I should have You beheaded for comming here, give me one good reason why I shouldnt drag You outside and kill You in front of everyone?" He then began to push the arrow further into his leg and said.

"Iˋm sure it will give them a reminder to not disobay any orders from me... Hearing You scream in pain as You..." He interupted Jardi and said with panic on his face.

"The Queen is related to the Sealth Chief!" Jardi stopped and looked at him with a bit of confusion on his face. "What did You just say?" He lookes at Jardi and said as Eria stopped reading her book.

"Queen Arendea is related to the Sealth Chief... Sheˋs half Sealth... Sheˋs also with child... I overheard Her and the Chief talking before I escaped." Jardi then turned to Eria and said with a serious look on his face.

"Did You know this about Your former servant?" Eria put her book down and said to him with a calm look on her face. "Iˋm just as suprised as You, Husband."

Jardi then turned back to the man and said to him. "Did You hear them talk about anything else?" He shaked his head and said. "N-No, they didnt talk about anything else. Thatˋs all I know, I swear..."

Jardi looked at any signs that He was lying before letting him go and said to him. "This is certantly interesting infomation You gatherd, What is Your name soldier?"

He rubbed his neck for a few secounds before saying to Jardi. "Elshi, Elshi Lurehi..." Jardi walked over to the table and poured himself some wine and said to him.

"Elshi, go get that leg of Yours treated and rest. Iˋm sure Youˋre pretty tired after riding all this way to tell me this, and feel free to get some whisky from the crate outside."

Elshi nooded his head and was about to leave but was stopped when Jardi said to her. "But next time You decide to abandon Your post, I wont hesitate to execute You. Do You understand?"

Elshi nooded his head and said before leaving the tent. "U-Understood, My Lord..." Jardi let out an irritated sigh and said as He was about to take a drink of the wine.

"This is just getting better and better, it isnt bad enough that Ritehan got arrested and sentenced to life in imprisonment. Now I just found out that Your former servant is a bloody Sealth."
