Chapter two: The Second in command.

I opened the door of the bar and looked around.

As i stepped in some Trandil a commander of the red legion waved at me which i returned and started to approach them. "hail men how are you three doing?" i asked while sitting on the bench.

"good sir, i just completed my shift at the palace and these two were already free before me." The soldier on my left said. "let me introduce you to aiden that is this young mer over here. "he pointed across himself. "that beautiful mer is Arundil."

"greetings Aiden and Arundil, do you serve under Trandil?" i ask them both. "and please don't go calling me my lord we are all of duty so let's keep the formality to a minimum." I said with a laugh.

"no sir i serve directly under Mirvanye." Arundil said to me. "and this sorry excuse of a mer does indeed serve under Arundil, i know Arundil for some time now and you sir?"

"Me i serve directly under our queen Caliriwen aldmeri." I replied with a small smile which she returned. "but when the queen says i want the best, i will go."

"Come on Thorein don't get a big head you're is already so big, or is it because of Arundil that you brag?" Trandil said poking me.

"Please i am fabulous and you love it." I said grinning at Trandil. "but for serious that is the reason the red legion got formed because we are send to solve problems others can't handle."

"But si-, Thorein right? Yes well who are you exactly i never seen you before." Aiden asked me.

Arundil punched him in the arm. "because he is the prince idiot, the queen is his mother!"

"please not so loud i don't need to be regonized to night Arundil." I replied while looking around. "it is hateful enough that everyone treats me diffrent when they know who i am."

"Thorein likes to mingle among us grunts and peasant but still be loved by both nobles and peasants alike. It is heartwarming to see him mingle with us so."Trandil said with a grin.

"well i am not the only noble here am i correct Arundil?" i said while looking at Arundil

"so beautiful and noble you are getting interesting by the minute Arundil" Aiden flirted with her i just grunted in response. "What it is true just look at her, i just want to ravis-"

"enough don't you see you humiliate her, in front of us."Trandil said angerly. "how would you like if i said that you are the worst fighter in the legion would you like that?" Aiden shook his head. "and if Mirvanye would be here she would have let you punished in front of the legion for inproper conduct against a comrade in arms."

"Calm Trandil, i think he gets it now." I looked towards Arundil and see her look down at the table. "Arundil come with me outside for a minute." She nodded and I stood up and let her lead us outside.

"I am sorry for Aiden but are you good?" i asked when we were outside.

She shook her head. "i never had any good contact with people, and some men just see a pretty face instead of a warrior and i hate that." She looked at me. I nodded in understanding. "but Aiden saw that and wanted a piece of me and i just shut down i never know when people try and do something."

"i understand Arundil, but to tell you the truth he wasn't wrong but also was. What i am trying to say is that you do look beautiful and well ... When i saw you i saw a... how shall i explain." I shook my head and looked away. "you remind me of me when i was young. I wanted nothing else but to show i was more then a prince of the dominion, i wanted to be a warrior."

"that is it exactly people see you and me as nobles not as warrior's i hate it" Arundil stood beside me and i threw my arms around her and smiled.

"Come let's go inside, and if you ask Trandil nicely you can sit besides me if you want." I said while walking inside.

"Aiden can you go get us some drinks?" i asked as we arrived at the table again.

"yes sure." Aiden walked away.

"Thorein, sit beside me?" Arundil asked with a smile.

"off course, my warrior" i joked with a smile. I went to sit beside her.

"Thorein if i may ask, what are our marching orders i thought today we would hear it?" Trandil shifted a bit and leaned closer. "i heard from a soldier that skyrim is in need of help. Do you think?"

"what i know is that skyrim indeed in need of help is but i can't say we will go. Could be that we would go to Cyrodill." I said back before putting one hand on the bench and leaned in closer."we will know for certain tomorrow because then we will march nomatter were."

Trandil laughed "Well tonight wont be boring to say the least.

"hey that's were i was sitting." Aiden said with a sigh.

"o sorry but i need to watch the door so i sit here better so i wish to sit her if you will allow me off course." I said to aiden with faked ignorance.

"no it is alright i jsut thought it was because of someting else." Aiden sat down and handed the drinks around. "but sir i heard a rumor." I felt a hand on my hand which still was on the bench. "that you and Mirvanye are intimate is that true?" Aiden said. "and is it also true that she got to be second in command because of her sleeping with you?"

I took Arundil's hand in my own for her comfort. " no it is not Mirvanye is a great soldier and a good second in command and most of those rumors are to damage her good name." i looked around the table to see if Trandil could defuse Aiden's curiosity.
"Aiden rumors are just that rumors, and beside i watched her fight and plan a battle very impressive and you don't impress me quick."

"well sir let me get us a refill than tell us all about it." Aiden said while getting new drinks.
