Chapter 35 : Diplomatic immunity Part 1.
It has been weeks since i left solitude, i am at the thalmor embassy now. I send out word to have the parents of Taarie and Endarie be found. "So will you tell me when she is here?" Elenwen asked me.
Grinning i looked at her. We sat in her office as the party would start in a hour. "I will if you want me to." Elenwen nodded. "But i might go to help her. to keep the deaths of our soldier to a minimum." I took a sip from my drink. "And what will you do?"
"i will dow hat i normally do, making sure these barbarians know who is in control." I chuckled. "And not trying to have them killed."
"So has the prisoner revealed new information about esbern?"
"no." She sighed. Her office looked clean and well kept. Even though more books with prisoners and informants tips. There was a knock on the door. "Who is there." It was more of a order then a question.
"It's Rulindil, My lady embassador."
"Enter." came the swift reply from Elenwen.
The door opened showing Rulindil's face. He was dressed in his Thalmor uniform hood down. "The first nobles are at the door. And i will try and get more information from the prisoner."
Elenwen waved him away with a sigh. "Let's get this over with shall we?" Elenwen asked me while rulindil walked away. We both got up and began walking to the reception room. We went downstairs then going outside. "I hope you know what you're doing Thorein. Letting the blade get some of our stuff. It.. doesn't sit right with me."
I chuckled but smiled at elenwen. Nodding to each soldiers walking th perimeter. "Look. We will lose it for a time. But after wards we will get it back, and two more blades for you to torture and kill." Elenwen grinned with pure delight at the thought. "See it as a present, From me to you. Two blades to do as you please." It almost looked like Elenwen was going to lick her lips thinking of ways, but she sobered up real fast and straightened her robes. We entered and walked downwards to the reception. The doors got locked behind us as Elenwen began greeting nord nobles, jarls and even general tulius. I looked around the room. The room was well lit to the sides where tables with delicatesse from Alinor and some basic nord dishes and imperial ones. We had one bosmer serving drinks and foods around, and a bosmer bard.
"Welcome to the embassy, enjoy your time and enjoy the food and songs of Alinor." Elenwen said as more and more began to pour into the reception. I walked up to the windows and looked outside. I saw Calinwen get of a cart and i walked to Elenwen and whispered.
"There comes a altmer inside soon and that is our friend." She nodded and i walked to the side keeping a eye on everyone. We had 2 guards posted in the reception. I noticed Malborn was anxious i wonder why. A
fter a moment Calinwen entered and Elenwen greeted her. "I am Elenwen, the Thalmor Ambassador to Skyrim. And you are?" But before Calinwen could reply Malborn said something out of my earshot and Elenwen walked away. I looked over the party, Several nordic Jarls General Tullius and jarl elisif the fair.
Calinwen walked up to me with a drink. I nodded and smiled. "Greetings. Can i help you?"
She smiled. "Just talking with the guests here. It is a nice party so far."
"Seems alright." I pointed at Razelan. "Heard he is the drunken annoying one here. Keep the drinks away from him."
"Thank you for the information." She walked away and after a few minutes the whole room heard razelan.
"Attention, everyone! Could I have your attention, please! I have an announcement to make! I propose a toast to Elenwen! Our mistress! I speak figuratively, of course. Nothing could be more unlikely than that someone would actually want her in their bed." I sighed but glad she took the hint.
"Razelan. What are you doing?" Elenwen sounded agitated.
"Although... most of you are already in bed with her! But again... I speak figuratively, of course!" The guards walked to Razelan and seized him. "Fine, fine. Get your hands off me. I'll be a good boy now. Wouldn't want to offend our Thalmor overlords, would we? Someone bring me a drink, quick!" I scanned the room and saw Malborn lock close the door to the kitchen and noticing that Calinwen is gone aswell.
I walked to Elenwen and whispered. "We got our traitor." I walked to the hallway after telling Elenwen who the traitor is. I had the guards capture Malborn and we where going to the solar. Malborn was silent when we opened the door and we walked into the courtyard. The solar guard walked up to me. I stopped him. "When you reach the Embassador tell her she won't have to worry." The guard nodded.
"Yes sir." and walked inside. as we entered the solar i had the guards wait with Malborn and walked to the interogation room where i saw Calinwen. I tapped her shoulder and she turned around. I smiled.
"HEy Thorein. Might need some help." She crossed her arms. Nodding i motioned her to stay as i walked into the interogation.
"Rulundil." I looked downwards. Who turned. "You and your guards need to come to me."
Rulundil sighed and got up. His guards followed him as we walked all four into the solar. "What is this about?"
I grinned but walked to rulundil's office. Calinwen and rulundil looked at each other. "She is going to take our prisoner to find the blade. And you get to interogate Malborn instead."
"Why Malborn?" Rulundil crossed his arms and scolded.
"Because he is a traitor to the dominion. and he knows more about the blades then the one you just interogated." I crossed my arm and looked at rulundil with a glare broking no argument. Sighning he relented. I nodded to Calinwen. "Go ahead." She saluted and walked away. We heard Malborn curse her name and her chuckle.
We waited few minutes before rulundil spoke up. "So what now?"
"Now you can make malborn sing like you always do. I meanwhile will go back to the ambassador's party and soon we have the last blades here so Elenwen can have some fun." rulundil grinned and walked away. I went to the solar instead. Knowing full well this could backfire if not done properly.
AN: Sorry for the long delay. but the person who owns calinwen. canceled the story. so i will write few more chapters and close it. i have some more request lined up and hope you enjoy those. Some stormcloak fictions. Imperial and dominion.
