Please, for the love of Akatosh! Don't let this man walk toward .
'Sorry, but I cannot do that.'
Fuck!
I scream in my head when I see the emperor walk toward my table and sit in front of . I get up and kneel in front of him.
"Please, take a seat. You are the reason why I am here, after all."
"There is no way I am sitting next to you, Your Highness. I am not worthy."
"Hahahaha! That is a good one, young man. A Dragonborn is not worthy to sit next to an emperor. That is a good one."
I look at him in surprise and say.
"You know about my identity?"
"I know that you are a Dragonborn. Soone who can destroy a mountain and waste a country. That is who you are."
"You are exaggerating it, your highness."
"Am I wrong? Can you not destroy a mountain, young man?"
I hold my tongue and do not answer him. I cannot destroy a mountain with my voice alone, but I can destroy one if I go all out. Only the top, though. I cannot destroy all of it at once.
He smiles at and says.
"Your silence is the answer to my question. So please, take a seat, and I will tell you the reason why I ca here."
I nod my head and take a seat. I can see Zelretch grinning at , but I will ignore him for now. My attention is on the emperor, who looks at from top to bottom. After looking at , he says.
"Join my empire."
I look at him in shock and say.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Hmmm," He rubs his chin in confusion before elaborating. "I hear people of Skyrim like soone who is direct to the point."
"But not that direct. We did not like soone who used honey words to get what they wanted. We still want so context in our conversation."
"I see."
He looks at right in the eyes and says.
"I want you to join my court as a Court Magician or Advisor."
"Why? Please tell the reason. Your offer is great, but I know that you have sothing you want behind that offer."
He nods his head and looks at the soldier standing behind him.
"Commander Maro, please give us so privacy."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
I can see the soldiers asking the others to leave the tavern and leave us two alone. The only person who stays with the emperor is the commander called Maro. Wait! I rember him. He is the one who arrives in Skyrim when the main character reaches a certain level in the Dark Brotherhood questline, right?
Does that an Odin joined the Dark Brotherhood? Dammit!
"Good. With us alone, I can tell you the reason why I want you to join my court. First thing first, your presence in my court will make the people who side with Ulfric think twice about siding with him. Second, it will give legitimacy to my dynasty to see a Dragonborn join my court as the founder of the empire is a Dragonborn."
I look at him for a second before saying.
"Why?"
"Another why, young man?"
"So far, it is the appropriate question, no? Why are you telling this? You are awfully honest with here. By the look of your guard, he also agrees with ."
I can see the guard freeze after I say that, but that answers my statent.
"See? Can you tell the reason why you are this honest, your highness?"
"Because I know your kind. I can see it in your eyes. You want nothing to do with politics. Even when you know about my reasoning, you will not tell a single soul because you do not care about that kind of thing. Am I right?"
"If you know I did not want anything to do with politics, why do you offer that offer?"
He smiles and says.
"Because I am getting desperate, you know? My rule is shaky because of the treaty between us and the Aldri Dominion. This is also the reason why Skyrim is divided and fights each other. I want to tell them the reason why I asked for that treaty, but before I can even do that, that foolish boy Ulfric killed his king."
He looks at right in the eyes and says.
"Do you know that I have a plan to get myself killed in the hands of the Dark Brotherhood?"
"WHAT?!"
Commander Maro shouts while I look at him in shock. He is the reason why that mission exists?! Does that an he will go to Skyrim and do that?
"Will you do that, though?"
I ask him seriously because I need to make sure that the questline does not start.
"No. Not when Vittoria Vici, my cousin, is already planning to marry Asgeir Snow-Shod, an heir to the Snow-Shod Clan."
Ah, balls. The quest line is already moving. Does that an Odin is a mber of the Dark Brotherhood?
'I can answer that.'
Akatosh! Thank you! Is he a mber of the Dark Brotherhood?
'No. You can rest assured that this is not the case. However, even without his involvent, the Dark Brotherhood will try to assassinate her. Soone from the Empire had already perford the Black Sacrant. I can feel darkness brewing in Solitude.'
Oh, for fuck sake. I release a sigh and look at the emperor.
"Did you know anyone who perford the Black Sacrant to summon the Dark Brotherhood?"
"No. I do not know any of that. What? Do you know sothing?"
"I just received a… revelation. Vittoria Vici will be assassinated at her wedding. The Dark Brotherhood carries out this assassination."
"WHAT?!"
Once again, Commander Maro shouts in surprise.
"How sure are you?"
"Ninety percent sure. Hell, I can even tell you where their hideout is located."
Commander Maro and the emperor look at each other for a few seconds before the emperor looks at and says.
"Please tell their location. If what you said is correct, I shall reward you handsoly."
