Middleham castle, 1471.

The loud whispers ran through the court of Henry the VI. The rumour of Edward drowning at sea with his brother Richard.

The whispers started a few days ago as a ship bound for England drowned due to the windy weather.

Margaret Beaufort stood beside Jasper Tudor whom began to tell her the recent reports of Edward perishing at sea along with his brother Richard.

The murmurs has caused the king who sat on the throne to become unsettled which didn't not go unnoticed by Warwick.

"Your grace. We will take you somewhere quiet." Warwick stepped towards Henry.

"I must"

"I shall" The king couldn't find the right words to address his court anymore. Nor didn't he want to.

"I'm taking the King to the Tower for his protection. The sons of York have united and mean to take back the throne. " Warwick announced.

"My Lords, we heard Edward perished at sea." Jasper Tudor spoke up.

"You heard wrong. My spies in the North claim he's landed and is about to attack.
Go home, raise men and wait my call to arms." He instructed the court only to be called out on it by Jasper Tudor again.

"I will await prince Edwards call to arms!
And a true Lancastrian will protect our King.
My Lord, the Duke of Somerset. "

As introduced the duke of Somerset hurried toward his king and bowed before him.

"God save the king!" He cried out.

Ignoring the commotion Jaspers attention turned toward Margaret. "Margaret, you should go back to Stafford Manor."
