Lace's Tales
~ The Emperor's Campaign
Entry 4
Finally, we got to fight back.
Deciding that Harlock's Hold would have to wait, Kelson
decided to re-take Bergan Sar Keep instead. It will be easier
for now, and will make it easier to take the other holds later.
We still intend to go to Harlock's Hold soon, but when we are
ready...now is not the time. The battle was quickly one, and
with few losses. I never even drew my sword, bust as I was
commanding the troops. For some reason Kelson and R'z left
the field, with ony Kelson protectors, and left all their men
without command. This angered me to no end. I vowed to
speak to Kelson on this matter, and have since. He now
understands how foolish that was, and has given his word
not to do it again.
I've also become rather close to Jerith Silverheart. Although
a relative, he is a very distant one. Kelson asked me to keep
close to him, and I would not disobey my Emperor. We had
a private dinner, then went out for some sword practice. He
is an able warrior, but could not hit me, or avoid my blows.
I later asked him to come back to my room with me and help
me with something...washing my back. He sat in the tub with
me, washing my back gently. He was ever the gentleman, and
would not have tried anything more than that. I think I could
very easily loose myself to him, he is so beautiful. I must keep
my wits about me though, as so little is known about him.
R'z , who had left with the barbarians, was captured by
Mystic, one of Silks daughters. Luckily he came back to us,
not everyone was so lucky. Our friend the barbarian had
the thrice cursed Silk Blade. It was back.
Now we fortify this hold, and Jerith, Keldera, Azianna and I
will be leaving at first light to go to Greyheim. We must rally
the people, and I wish to find out if my family is there. I have
never met my grandmother or aunts, and I would very much
like to. I am happy to be with Jerith, and find it quite funny
R'z spoke to Jerith about his intentions towards me. Who does
my brother think I am? I can take care of myself. I don't tell
his girlfriends that they'd better speak to me before trying
anything with my brother...why should this be any different?
Ah well, brotherly love I suppose. If only I could say that
both of my brothers were so concerned. Someday...
