Chapter 12 - The Counsel

In 60 AC, Mary gave birth to a son named Lionel. He had light brown hair with golden color eyes and a slash and bite mark on his belly. 

Harrin Hali, Danielle Brakker, Nadia Wicker, Markus Slate, Ladon Soltic, and Zira Lomidze. They all meet in a room made for council meetings. 

"These people are asking for too much" says Danielle. 

"They think since they have us as their voice, they can get whatever they want" says Ladon. 

"We need them to make reasonable suggestions, but they are not getting that" says Markus. 

"Maybe but we are here to make sure the reasonable and best ones get heard" says Harrin. 

"So will we begin narrowing down the list now. This will take all day after all" says Nadia. 

They all agree and begin reading the suggestions. Hours pass and they got only 10 suggestions to ask the king later. 

They all a vote and it's decided that Zira will be presenting it to the king this time. 

The next day, Zira walks in Black Fang Tower and to the throne room. 

King Boris is sitting on his throne. Kyra and Delmar are by his side. His king's knights are standing guard all across the room. 

"Hello Zira, what voices have you brought me" says King Boris. 

"Well, my King, the people were as bold as ever but we, the counsel, have chosen a few of their request to represent to you," said Zira. 

"Well get to it Zira," said King Boris. 

"Well, the first topic is asking relief aid for a rebellion in Aiza from Lord Pike," said Zira. 

"That will be granted," said King Boris.

"Right, next is a rebellion in the Dornigo, they are asking for troops to help with the rebellion."

"That will be granted as well. Did Lord James request this?"

"No, my King, but his nephew John did. Lord James is a prideful man after all."

"Oh, I see, he is indeed. Alright the next one."

"Right, next is some foreign people coming from Utora asking to come to Ashemanian."

"What is their purpose for being here."

"They were driven out their land and now looking for a new place they claim."

"I see, granted. But tell the lords of wherever they decide to reside to keep a watch on them."

"Yes, my King. Next is a decrease on taxes from citizens in Golden Trade city."

"Denied, they aren't special, no different treatment for them."

"Ok, next is from House Wicker, Quil Wicker was accused of treason, but he says he didn't and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. His House and even Delmar vouches for him."

"I see, well I trust Delmar and his perceptive eye. So Quil Wicker is to be release by my order."

Delmar walks in with the document already in hand. King Boris sign it, and it is sent off.

"Next is Lord Caspian wanting to go to another voyage and want to place his nephew, Percy, in charge while he is away" says Zira. 

"Oh, Delmar son, I see. That man ambition is great but so is his loyalty. His leave is granted," said King Boris. 

"Right, next is from your sister, Princess Eva. She wants your support for her husband to be the next head of House Archion."

"Oh, a succession dispute and my dear sister wants my help. House Archion legitimized bastard becoming the head."

Delmar walks back in and say, "word from Lord Haku, that he will support Neal Archion."

"Ah I see, well that makes things simple, I also support Neal Archion for new lord of House Archion."

Delmar nods and hands the letter to King Boris. King Boris sign the letter and Delmar walks out to send the letter. 

"Right, next is from Lord Therion. He says that archbishops are opposing on his rule but he would not kill leaders of regions. So, he is asking for help."

"Oh, the Stone Face religion leaders are acting up. Send Lord Grendel to handle them."

"Right my King." Zira tells Delmar when he walks back in, and he handles sending word to Lord Grendel.

"Next is from traders in Golden Trade Island has been getting con a lot lately and many can"t seem to find him" says Zira. 

"I see, that is problematic, send your brother to fix that at once" says King Boris. 

"Yes, my King. Just one more subject. A boy appeared saying hs father was of House Proudstone. He seems to be a bastard. He wants to name new Lord of House Proudstone. 

King Boris pondered for a moment. 

"Denied for now but he will join my army and if he can make a name for himself, he may have that title and their land."

"Yes, my King, now I must go." Zira bows before leaving. 

A woman with short black hair and brown eyes with a white dress walks in with Elen.

"Husband, I have news that I know who is behind the schemes on Golden Trade Island" says Kyra. 

"Great, go tell Zira before she leaves" says King Boris.

Kyra nods and heads to Zira. Elen bows before going with her.
