Chapter 26: the end is nigh.
The sounds of fireballs exploding, men and woman screaming, the clashes of blades continued for a while. I stood outside with my back to the door as some of the legion has drawn there weapons and stand looking at the door. "Sir why do we not see what is-," i interrupted Arundil with a raised hand.
"They chose there fate when they denied my offer." I said calm and pointed to the door. I looked over the thalmor who walked out of the chamber with me. "Soon things will change for the better. From this day forth the dominion will enter a golden age." I looked around the room seeing the faces of worry, anticpation can be seen on some. More thalmor soldiers entered the hall but was stopped by my forces. I stood there with my arms folded behind my back. "Stay calm everyone. The situation is under control. Return to your duties and stay out of trouble." I said with a calm steady voice and most walked away but looked from afar. The screams and sounds started to die down after a while as the doors began to open.
"This one has done his orders." Said a limping Ji'Largo. His leg had a cut and and saw him not resting on it. I motioned my men to help support the wounded. I myself supported Ji'largo. "this one hopes it has done good, my lord." I nodded a d gave him a warm bright smile.
"Yes you have done well friend. You did admirable and you have my thanks." I looked towards the thalmor present. "The Thalmor will change. From this day forth they will answer to one person a d that is the queen a d the red legion will watch if they preform as they should." I began walking back with the forces Ji'Largo at my side Arundil silently behind me watching everyone to see how they are made a slow march back to the palace. When we arrived the wounded would be treated as i walked with Arundil to the queen giving our report about what happened knowing the talk with the thalmor would be a while long and i need to attend it. The rest of the day went by as expected. I lookked by the wounded khajijt and thanked each each and everyone. My soldiers i am proud of them each and everyone. After that i walked the garden with sasha. Arundil came after a while.
"can i talk with you privately Thorein." She asked me. I nodded and we went to a outside porch with a few chairs and a table as we took a seat a servant came up and asked if we wanted drinks or food. After we said what we want the servant left and i waited for Arundil began to talk. "So the Thalmor shall change now?" i nodded in response and she looked down and away. "that is good to hear… but i was wondering." I looked at her questionable but said nothing. "What do you think of relationship with comrades-in-arms?"
I thought for a moment. "I see not wrong aslong as it don't preformence and duty. Or one play favoritisme." I said while looking at her with a smile. "Why? Someone i know has shown interess in you?"
She chuckled and smiled. "yes. Thrandil. He is nice. Caring and a very sweet man." She took the drinks and food from the servant amd smiled and thanked him before taking a few bites. "He listens to me and he has put energy in the things we have done in private." I nodded and smiled at her.
"Well if you enjoy the time then enjoy what you can have." I took a sip from my glass. "So when you talked with me about the flirting did you mean him,me or aiden?"
"Aiden. You flirt but you make sure the other knows why and what you want. He only… flirts with me." She began to blush. "But Aiden.. he flirts with everyone and only wants them sexually." The talk kept going for a few hours more.
