After planning with Eorlund how to get Olfina and Jon married when Vignar arrives. Vincent always has a bad mood when Vignar is near him since he really sees Eorlund as an adoptive father and when the last time Vignar said that Eorlund was a traitor he was really angry.
Angry enough to kill him on the spot but didn't do so because of Eorlund and Avulstein since they said he shouldn't care about what that old bone says.
"Oh, the High King in person. I thought you were occupied with this Vampire Crisis and don't have time to see anyone," says Vignar who holds a grudge against Vincent for killing Ulfric and stopping his plan in becoming Jarl of Whiterun.
Now with Elisif and Vincent even reigning from Whiterun, it is even less possible for him to become Jarl and that made him really angry.
"I have time when I met with my family but no time to meet strangers. Maybe Proventus can make time for you so we can meet once I'm done with this Vampire problem," says Vincent mocking Vignar as he leaves angry and Eorlund sighs.
"Do you really have to be like that to him," says Eorlund as Vincent only nods.
"I have, he is fishy," says Vincent as Eorlund was now confused.
"What do you mean?" asks Eorlund as he stopped hammering the sword.
"He became angry or desperate since Ulfric died. I was looking into it but stopped because he is your brother and other important matters appeared in my way. I will most likely investigate him later again," says Vincent as Eorlund wasn't dumb enough to not know what Vincent was telling him.
"Maybe we should warn Kodlak about it. If Vignar uses his influence as Companion they could turn against you," says Eorlund seriously.
"We will walk over that bridge once I burned down the bridge full of vampires," says Vincent as the children came running up and Eorlund sees them.
"It seems I have two new grandchildren," says Eorlund as he pets their head.
Runa and Hroar present each other to Eorlund as he asks, "So which weapon are you training with? I will need to smith my grandchildren some nice weapon so they can train even harder so they can protect Skyrim once their father is unable."
Making Hroar spill the beans as Eorlund takes a one-handed ax and two daggers that were laying beside the smith as he hands the ax to Hroar and the daggers to Runa while he says, "Make your father proud alright. Maybe the girls should visit Fralia to get some necklaces."
"Maybe we should wait for some years until they are older," says Vincent as Eorlund knew Vincent would say that and takes some necklaces out of his pocket.
"I knew you would say that," says Eorlund as he turns to his grandchildren and gives them necklaces that suit them while saying, "You should say thank you to your grandmother who foresaw this and gave me the necklaces."
"You are spoiling them," says Vincent with a smile.
"That's what a grandparent is supposed to do," says Eorlund as Vincent was ready to leave after he dropped the Dragon Bones and Scales of the two Dragons he killed in the Forgotten Valley when Eorlund says, "I thought Dragon Hunting was over."
"Those two asked for it attacking me and my companions," says Vincent as he looks at Jorrvaskr and asks, "Is Aela around?"
"No, she left a week ago. Said it was a contract in Hammerfell. If you really want to bind her to you, you know what to do," says Eorlund as he sees that Vincent really wants to do so.
"She likes her freedom that's why she still doesn't have a ring on her finger," says Vincent as he then waves saying goodbye while going with the children to see Fralia before knocking on the door of Breezehome finding Susanna opening the door.
"Welcome we were about to leave to go meet you," says Susanna as she sees the children and says happy, "Those are all yours. How cute they are."
She takes them into her arm when Vyrve comes to the door and sees them and says, "We were right about t-"
"I know Susanna told us. I was in the city because I had to inform my adoptive father about his son's wedding," says Vincent as Vyrve was now confused because he didn't know Vincent had an adoptive father as Vincent tells them who it is.
"Can you ask him to smith me a nice Sledgehammer?" asks Vyrve excited since even he knew who Eorlund was.
"You can ask Adrianne. She is one of the best smiths in Skyrim and lives beside you. Eorlund only smith for the Companions or his family," says Vincent as he began to move towards the gates with the children before turning around and asks, "You coming or what?"
"We are coming," says Susanna as she drags Vyrve behind her. They pass the gates and walk down to the stables from there they ride back home.
Once at New Haven Susanna was a little nervous to meet with her sister-in-law as she asks, "Will she accept me?"
"Trust me she will or she wouldn't be with Vincent," says Vyrve reassuring Susanna as she slowly calmed down.
They all enter as the children overrun Mina and Lydia since they knew them the longest to show them what they got before turning to their pets.
Then it was Susanna's moment as she walked with Vyrve into the room as Kirvena sees the couple and nods seeing them together as she whispers to Mina, "It seems my brother has some good eyes. I was worried he would bring a hagraven home."
Mina was holding her laugh back after hearing Kirvena say that as she responses, "I don't think that he would really bring a hagraven, do you."
"You never know but let me talk to my sister-in-law since she seems to be a kind woman," says Kirvena as she walked towards them.
They begin to talk and stayed for dinner when Elisif entered the house exhausted like always and says, "Why can't people solve the simple things themselves and run to the Jarl."
"That's how it works after all," says Vincent before offering her his seat as he stands up and she sits down.
"Thank you," says Elisif before kissing him and sitting down. Then she sees two new faces and says, "Now the mer must be Ysayle who you told us about but who is the Nord?"
"I'm the wife of Vyrve. The name is Susanna for short your highness," says Susanna as she wanted to bow when Elisif stops her.
"Don't you are part of the family. When we are behind closed doors like now you don't need to do that," says Elisif as she was feeling a little embarrassed from seeing Susanna bow to her before changing the topic saying, "It seems the recruiting is working better in the East than the West of Skyrim."
"I heard so too," says Vincent as he explained that the old Stormcloaks are joining his ranks to fight the Thalmors.
"It's no wonder the Stormcloaks are joining your ranks even when you killed Ulfric the real reason for them to fight was so they could pray to Talos again," says Mina as Ysayle was looking confused.
"We have different gods around here," whispers Kirvena to Ysayle as she explained only the Imperial Nine Divines since it would become complicated to explain her every divine.
"Then why do you have our twelve gods as windows?" asks Ysayle now interested.
"Vincent wanted the children to know about your twelve gods since they were his gods before he was sent here," says Mina with a smile on her face before pointing on another window and says, "Hydaelyn is over there too."
After the conversation, they had dinner and the couple left then before it got too dark for them to return safely.
In the meantime in the Summerset Isles, in a conference room, the Thalmors were holding a meeting as one says, "I heard from a spy in Skyrim that the High King is recruiting people."
"Not only that it seems that the Dragons burned one of our Headquarters in Cyrodiil. The rumors say it was a Dragon armada that overran them burning everything down," says another Thalmor as the head of them all was thinking.
"Has anything happened to the Thalmor Embassy in Skyrim?" asks the head as they shake their heads and the head says, "Maybe the High King wants to do the same as Ulfric. Let him do so the weaker the Empire the better for us. I heard that the Emperor and the High King didn't have a pleasing conversation when the Emperor was in Skyrim for his cousin's wedding. I heard it was more of a fight between both everyone nervous that they would witness the beginning of a new civil war."
The Thalmors in the room began to laugh hearing that as one says, "What about the Dragons?"
"No mere man can control Dragons and it was only witnessed that he was riding one red Dragon so far so I think he can only control one of them only while the other are only there for the spectacle he made for them," says the head.
"What about Cyrodiil?" asks another as the head shakes his head.
"It must be because they wanted to claim the mountain for themselves. We all know Dragons like high territory. Just let it in peace we should look relocate the others too so it doesn't happen again. You should all return to your posts," says the head as the others leave the room and the head says, "Everything would have been easier if we still had the Orb of Vaermina we could be sure of everything if not for that damn Varen."
"We need more information about that High King but our spy get killed one by one the only one standing is an imperial in Riften that sends her reports with the wine she makes," says the right-hand man of the head.
"Do you think she is double-crossing us?" asks the head.
"I don't think so but I think that they are already having an eye on her. She isn't dead because she has influences in the Empire too," says the right-hand man as the head was pleased that at least one of his spies was still alive even if she was being watched.
"Let's make them lose their suspicion and send her an order not to sent reports back for the next few months. They won't be able to attack us anyway in the next few years," says the head as the right-hand man leaves the room to do as told.
