Chapter twelve
Revlin stared at the invitation he had received. It read:
You are cordially invited to the wedding of
Hector Sylver Ostia
And
Lyndis Yunari Caelin
On the night of the winter solstice.
If he was not mad before reading it he was now. He called for a carriage to take him to Ostia immediately.
Meanwhile, in Ostia castle Hector and Lyn were talking to Eliwood who had just arrived at castle Ostia after receiving his invite. They were all laughing at how well Hector had planned this. He knew that Revlin was going to leave for Ostia as soon as he got the invitation. At that point he would be given the chance to avoid any incarceration as long as he met a few demands. Lyn was still thinking about his head on a lance.
Eliwood then said, "I for one can't say that I like this idea. I mean if Revlin is as crazy as he is made to be then he will just double his efforts. So I am going to suggest we pull together all our old friends to help in this endeavor."
Hector said, "I have already sent special invites to all of them. We found Sain in Bern and he will be on his way. I have also contacted Wallace and even gotten Master Renault to come. He is going to be our minister while Wallace is going to stand with Fargus, Dart and, Hawkeye at the door to make sure that none get through that we don't want there. Oh and as for any assassins that Revlin would send, well let's just say that my border patrol will be coming up to help."
Eliwood raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "You really have thought of everything Hector. I am impressed."
Hector then said, "There is one thing that I haven't thought of everything Eliwood. I will have to plan for the future. Lyn? Would you leave for a minute?" Lyn got up and left the room. "Do you remember that dream I told about? About me and the girl on my shoulder?"
Eliwood said, "Yes. You got a very distant look in your eyes and said, 'I will not let you take my daughter.' So what?"
Hector said, "No reason really. Oh, by the way. I heard that you wife is soon to have her child. Have the priests told you what it will be?"
Eliwood said, "They know as much as I do. They just continue to talk about how the womb is throbbing with fate or something like that."
Hector then chuckled and said, "What could fate have to do with you. You have had enough fate. So have I really." They both laughed as the doors burst open and Lyn ran into the room. Revlin walked in after her.
Hector and Revlin stared at one another for but a second and then broke contact. Hector beckoned Eliwood to take Lyn back to her room. After both of them left the room Hector turned on Revlin and with as polite a voice as he could muster asked, "To what do I owe this visit Lord Revlin? No, wait. Can I guess?" Lord Revlin glared. Hector then said, "I think you are because you are angry that I asked Lyn to marry me because it takes the option from you. Am I right?" His glare grew colder colder. "But that does leave the question of why you wanted her hand. Surely it would not just be for Caelin. As I remember, Caelin stands just three fiefdoms from Ostia and they are all in a straight line. Could it be that you wanted to position troops to take over their lands and then attack Ostia to take over Lycia? Or is there something I missed?"
Revlin just smirked and said, "I am impressed Ostia. You do show a great deal of intelligence. But, You are also a meddler and that is something that I can't have."
Hector then said, "I do not meddle Revlin. I simply keep up with my peoples action's if I believe that they are in the wrong. My suspicions are confirmed about you. Now the question is what are we going to do about this. Lyn is an able witness to give a testimony against you for genocide. Though you were not in Lycia when you did what you did you were using a loose tongue and telling her that you have done it before in Lycia. Graham is and excellent witness too because he can talk about a great deal of illegal actions in which you have had him performed. And that spy that you tortured, well, you'll glad to know that he will be ready to testify in front of a full Court."
Revlin then said, "What do you want? I can tell that I can avoid this inquiry by some means."
Hector then said, "Very good. I have a few demands that you are to follow. First and foremost you are to leave Lady Lyndis alone. Yopu are invited to our wedding but you are not to be in her vicinity after that at any time. Secondly, all those corpses in your secret study are to be buried in a graveyard which you have made yourself. Except for Lady Madelyn. You are to take her to Sacae where Lyn will perform the Sacaen Burial Rite on her mother. My final demand is that you either stop hurting the people on your lands or my influence will be felt with a greater ferocity than any you have felt. That is my decree."
Revlin simply stood up and walked out of the room with one last statement. "I hope you enjoy your new wife because you may not have her for long. Remember that."
He slammed the study door.
