Eliona and Yaro’s troops are currently residing in the Nottland Manor, which is under the jurisdiction of Yaro’s dukedom. Eliona has gathered mercenary groups and individuals that either owes her as a noblewoman or as the Red Sparrow of the Night’s Watch. Yaro’s task is to train these men into fine soldiers that will serve him and Eliona, and to an extension, the queen.

</div><br/><br/><br/>Eliona returned to the study, followed by Jasper, her sword gripped tightly. She felt an unsettling sensation when she was outside in the field. Yaro was doing well, leading the training of the recruits, however, her worry is not of Yaro but of something beyond the lands.<br/><br/>“Jasper, did you prepare what I asked of you?” she said, entering the study.<br/><br/>“I have, the maps were found in the attics of the manor, it has been laid out for you,” he said, sitting on the nearest available chair. Large parchments of drawn maps of the kingdom and its neighbors lay bare within the study. Each of the maps has been spread out to convey the images of different needs. One map shows the lands in the kingdom dedicated to vegetation, some to trading routes, and some territorial dominions of the different nobles of the land.<br/><br/>One map, in particular, framed in oak, depicts the different areas where the kingdom’s capital once reside, different capitals for every dynasty of the kingdom. Which totals to nine.<br/><br/><br/>“I’ve read in the archives of the capital library that the first capital was established in the northeastern mountains known as the Geminus mountains. If you translate it, it means twin mountains. There was a legend that our kingdom was once ruled by twin kings, who shared power equally. No decision passed without the approval of the two. It was also said they attained great peace with this,” she took a quill and made a mark on the Geminus mountains.<br/><br/>“But before the next king, which was considered the very first king of our kingdom, was born, that capital was swallowed by an earthquake. Normally, if mountains fall under the mercy of such devastating natural disaster, it would move or have marks. But the expeditions I’ve personally sent all said, no signs of such quakes happened. Why is that?”<br/><br/><br/>Eliona turned around to face Jasper, who was downing what probably looked like a third helping of ale. “Beats me, you’re the one who always has a fascination with these mystical histories of kings and heroes,” he said while refilling his goblet.<br/><br/><br/>Eliona shook her head and returned her gaze back to the map. “Well, if such twin kings do exist, they have the sword and crown of Daedalus which determines the capability of a person as king. It is also said that whoever can wield and wear both sword and crown is the next chosen king if, by default, no legitimate heir appears.”<br/><br/><br/>“So, tell me, why are you aiming for this sword and crown? If you don’t find this Prince Ragaenar, then we simply secure the queen to the throne, marry her off. Or go with your plan and just marry a foreign crown prince.”<br/><br/><br/>Before Eliona could reply, the door to the study opened.<br/><br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="114" data-username="@Andraus" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/114/">@Andraus</a>
