Suddenly, Simon realised something. The whole situation was retarded. Here you have a female priestcult, made and led by the wife of King Arvid, enjoying their vacation on the Gothic Lake. Allegedly, they were hostages by criminals demanding the bounty of Britain. What does Arvid do? Does he send out an army to inspect the Lake district? Arvid is an ally of Rome, just like his father was. Why isn't he asking Rome for help? Rome has two fleets nearby, one in Frisia and one in Cimbria. Why did Arvid send a horse relay requesting him, a 16 year old politics students, in London, to help him with this emergency. What skills did he had? Simon recognised that this whole situation is suspicious. He senses that he was led to this place by some hidden force. Simon sits down and evaluates past year. He arrived in London at age 15. He desired to visit Caledonia. In Caledonia he meets a slave girl. The slave girl guides him on a tour towards the Highlands. In the highlands they are observed and arrested on command of the Crown prince. He was placed in jail, while the slave girl Anika was forced to become the sex slave of the queen. The then lover of the queen requested his release. He was released and he returned back to the Caledonian capital. Consequently, he returned to Britain. And.. months later, the King of Caledonia requested him and he ended up in Scandinavia. 

'What the heck is happening here?'

Simon nevertheless was happy that he has traveled a lot past year. He is now in Scandinavia. He never intended to visit this country. Simon knew very well that there is no such thing as co-incidence. So he began to evaluate his position.

'So, I'm a 16 year old politics student from the Alps, now in Northern Europe, on assignment by a client King, on an adventure of whom the outcome was uncertain, with lots of money that I didn't work for nor asked for. Also, I'm on a luxury ship. Well, I don't know about those captains that were killed. Maybe they were blood sacrifices, I don't know. I will remain in this place for a while until I figure out what's going on and what my purpose is in this situation'

When Simon entered into the apartment complex of the ship (where the cabins were) he found an open door. When walking through the door he found a tiny library. He lighted two oil lamps and began reading some of the scrolls. One of the scrolls was a family tree. When reading the family tree, he found out that the present King Arvid, also called Joas, is the son of a great uncle from his father's side. 

'Wait a minute, so I'm kin to the Caledonian-Scandinavian royals?'.

He read another related document. That document explained how a man named Thiomphus, an wine farmer from Rhaetia, sailed to Egypt, Judea, Macedonia, Greece, Bospori, Olbia, Spain, Britain, Frisia, Cimbria and Scandinavia importing and exporting goods on markets in naval ports. The man spend 2 and a half year in Scandinavia trading between different tribes. After a short return to Britain, he settled with his Korean wife in Jehuda town, a Jewish settlement governed by a Jewish-Celtic elite. During him time there he increased his dominance in Scandinavia through the counterfeiting of Roman coinage. After months Norway and Scandia formed one confederacy and this Rhaetian became the ruler of this confederacy as King Arivd I. Arvid married another woman, Verita, who was from the Jewish-Celtic elite running Jehuda town. Arvid and his two wives begot many children. Arvid made two diplomatic missions to Rome, the second during the eruption of the Vesuvius. During the rule of the Rhaetian Scandinavians misbehaved towards the German and Baltic tribes. Since the murder of the Rhaetian, Scandinavia has occupied the Baltic kingdoms. The successor of Arvid I, Borgus, infiltrated the client confederacy of the Caledonians and appointed his mother-in-law Verita (also called Queen Dagmar) as queen of the Caledonians together with her Norwegian husband. After a two years the Norwegian husband and child of Verita died. Silla, a girl working in Verita's court, became close to the widowed queen. After a while Silla usurped Verita's position completely. At this time Borgus died in a war against Finland. Joas, one of the Rhaetian's sons, became King Arvid II of Scandinavia. He entered into a marriage with the slave girl Silla in order to combine the economies of Caledonia and Scandinavia to compensate for the harsh economic recession that occurred due to Rome's unfriendly policy towards Northern Europe. Verita became the concubine of Joas and begot him two children in her old age, one of them who has become the crown prince. 

When he read another document he discovered records of financial transactions between King Arvid I and his successor Borgus and his own family living in Noricum and Italy. His grandfather and great grandfather received in total 4.000.000 sestertius and 800.000 Denari in payment from their relatives that ruled Scandinavia. Also, King Arvid I was also involved in financing the Batavian revolt that occurred at the same time as the Jewish revolts in Jerusalem after Emperor Nero died. He also found out that Emperor Vespasian gained control of 92% of all the 600 Iron mines in Norway. With this he controlled 80% of all the steel export of Norway and his family owned 90% of all the income from the Norwegian steel industry. He also found out that the Kingdom Noricum exported around 18000 immigrants to perform slave labour in the mines of Norway. Most of them were military men who were honourably discharged from the army. Furthermore, he found out that Arvid I's Korean wife remarried with a chieftain after her first husband's death. She brought with her over 1.000.000 Denari worth of luxury. 

'I never realised my relatives were involved in all of this...'.

Simon understood from that moment on that his interest in politics was imputed into him by his family. It wasn't a unique desire that spontaneously emerged inside of him. He read through another document, this document stated that Emperor Trajan inherited all the wealth of the Flavian dynasty, including the mining industry of Norway. Also, that Trajan extorted the rich of Scandinavia in order to finance his campaigns in Dacia and Sarmartia. 

He also found a family tree of Verita (Dagmar). Her mother was a Savarian peasant with no ties to noble houses. Her father was King Ludovicus and King Ludo was a descendant from Jethro Ravennus. Jethro was an Israelite merchant that sailed with his family through Italian waters exchanging goods. He founded a tiny house in Ravenna where he become a shop owner in her later years. His grandson Jefta, also called Jeftus Salisus Ravennus, became the leader of the Molech cult in Ravenna. He founded the criminal Salisus-Hebraicus dynasty. The brother of Jefta, Thomas left for Rhaetia where he became a farmer for several years. Also, another brother of Jefta, Calun, left for Britain. He located himself in the country of the Caledonians where he begot a son with a Celtic wife and named him Kelvin. Kelvin had a seventeen daughters in his old age, one of them was named Anika. Anika was 3/4 Celtic and 1/4 Israelite. A daughter of Calun married a warrior who gave her eight children. One of those children, Aida, married a celtic blacksmith and hey had four sons and a daughter named Silla or Silvana. 

'Hold on a minute. This makes Queen silvana and her lover Anika cousins two generations removed. And that makes Arvid Silvana's cousin one generation removed. It'all making sense now'

But then...

'Hold on a minute. That means that I'm involved in the outworking of both a generational blessing and a generational curse. The blessing is that the descendants of Jethro the elder are powerful on the earth, the curse that the enemy had sown seeds of envy, perversion and controversy in the descendants of Jethro. I'm the 6th generation from Jethro, while Anika and Silvana have the same grandfather and are 5 generations removed from him. Even though, Silvana is only related by her maternal descent, not paternal. King Arvid is the fourth generation since Jethro just as Verita, because they descent from the same son of Jethro: Jeremiah. In short, all the people involved in this drama are descendants of Jethro the elder!'

It was then that he began to notice something.

'The women that descant from Jethro have the quality of retaining their youth and fertility into their old age. The men have the quality of procreating frequently. They all end up influential whether they want it or not. But at the same time, many disturbing people are seeking to usurp these qualities.'

After reading the documents Simon went to sleep. He found out who he is and the insight into history made plain unto him why he went through what he went through. It was a relief for his soul to finally have this understanding.
