Chapter 6
Lyn was now joined by four former allies. They were all appalled to hear about the actions that Lord Revlin against the Lorca Tribe. After three days they reached the Ostian royal capital city. Lloyd said, "This is where we leave you." He turned to leave and said, "You have our friendship and we protect our friends. If you ever need us, just send word with one whom you trust."
Karel and his band agreed to stay with Lyn until they were no longer needed. All except for Jaffar. He decided to follow his old comrades. The capital city was a big place. Houses reached as high as five levels from the ground. Inns and Taverns of many a variety spread through the streets like wild fire. People in the streets were looking over the many items on display by merchants from various kingdoms. Quark was overly interested in watching all the children play and feeling sad because she couldn't join for her lameness. Lyn hugged her cousin and thought about how she was really a bit of an outcast because her mother was not of Lorca blood.
There were Ostian guards coming towards them. They were followed slowly by Lord Hector. He had the face of faces on. It was happy but worried and showed hints of rage and trying to remain calm. He saw Lyn and the others. He asked, "Are you okay, Lyn? I heard that your home was ransacked."
Naomi said, "All is well with her Lord Hector. But she will not be able to speak to anyone unless that collar on her neck is removed." Hector examined the collar on Lyn's neck and was about to put fingers in it when Lyn pulled away. "If anyone tries to remove it other than the person who put it on her then it will hurt the person but it will hurt her more." Stated Naomi.
Hector took a look at the lame girl being carried on the back of an old horse. He then asked, "And who are you little girl?"
Naomi said, "My father sent you a letter about a week ago. He said that Lyn would be with trusted friends. We are those friends. I am Naomi Yunari and that makes me Lyn's cousin."
Hector, who was surprised at the news, said, "I never knew she had any other family. But, she is safe and that is all that matters at the moment." He turned to one of the guards. "You. I want you to go to the castle and have the maids prepare rooms for five people. And have letters sent to Lord Pent, Lord Canas, And have Lady Serra ready to remove a cursed item." The soldier saluted and ran as fast as his legs would carry him towards the castle. Hector then said, "We should follow suit." And so they did.
The inside of Castle Ostia was glamorous. There was marble tile covering every inch of the floors. Paintings and weapons littered the walls. A Beautiful array of Chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Maids and butlers were swarming down the steps to greet Hector. He pointed to the five people and asked that they be extra careful with the ladies.
A hot bath had been drawn for the guests. Naomi insisted on bathing with Lyn. They were both in there washing each others hair and thinking to themselves that this was what it must be like to have a sister. They finished their baths and were taken to their rooms. There were hot plates of food awaiting them. Lyn, who was getting tired of rations took and ate the food faster than anyone thought possible. After eating she looked at the bed. She never felt sleepier. She fell face first onto the bed in her bathrobe and was asleep before long.
Hector had read over the written testimonial by Lyn towards Lord Revlin was now reading over the law books of Lycia looking for something that could help her. But he found it useless. The league couldn't do a thing unless the Marquess did something inside of Lycia than he was untouchable by justice. He would not let Lyn's problem go. He swore that he would help her if it ended up killing him. He just decided to scan through the law books without a second thought now. That was until at around two o'clock in the morning. He found an old marital law. It stated:
Law 982 Marital. Paragraph 9. Section 3.
If a noble who has passed power, titles, and lands of their said kingdom to a higher power that power can switch in the case that the noble is female with no male heir. This case can only occur if the female noble marries at which point the higher power is required to transfer power to the male spouse of said noble.
Lord Revlin was using the law to gain more lands. Hector was not about to let this happen. He figured that tomorrow he would talk with Lyn about this and figure out how they were going to handle it.
R&R or… I don't know. Tell you what you send me threats to put at the end and I'll use one each chapter and give the author credit.
