Talking to the Emperor

They enter the Blue Palace and it was still as Elisif remembered it and the servant brought her and Vincent to Balgruuf. Balgruuf bows while the other kneeled in front of them and Balgruuf suddenly sees the Amulet and opens his eyes wide in shock while saying, "It can't be."

"Oh, it can. We even tried to get it off his neck but it didn't work. He can't even hide it inside his clothes as it resurfaces like passing through the clothes," says Elisif seeing everyone in the room look at Vincent who was slowly feeling uncomfortable with all those stares at his amulet.

"So the rumors were true that the Eternal Flame reignited again in the Imperial City," says Balgruuf as he needed to sit down from this shock.

Once in his chair, he asks, "You know what this means right?"

"That he is the rightful Emperor," says Elisif relaxed.

"Does he know it?" asks Balgruuf.

"After telling him he knew. We were shocked too when we saw the Amulet. I even dropped what I was holding. I just hope that the Emperor doesn't lead his troop to Skyrim after finding out," says Elisif seriously.

"I don't think he could even if he wanted to," says Balgruuf as he sighs and continues, "The Emperor is on one front against the Dominion and the problems he has to solve in the other Regions. He needs to deal in Morrowind with the Red Mountain. And with the Argonian falling over Morrowind for revenge of the Slavery they had to suffer because of the Dunmer. The Emperor can't afford to fight in two front at the same time. And even if he did our King would win."

"What do you mean?" asks Elisif curious.

"The Empire sent a battalion to kill a dragon. They almost lost the battalion and killed the Dragon," says Balgruuf seriously.

"And?" asks Elisif why Balgruuf mentioned that.

"They killed the Dragon but he revived again as if nothing happened," says Balgruuf making a point that even if they killed a Dragon it revived because the Dragonborn didn't kill it.

"The Emperor is not dumb enough to feel the fury of the Dragons and wouldn't fight our King knowing that the Dragons are behind him. The only thing he can do is resigned the throne to our King," says Balgruuf as Elisif closes her eyes to think over everything.

"I hope you are right," says Elisif as she opens her eyes again.

"How about we eat something?" says Balgruuf as he guides them to the dinner table and they begin to eat.

The day passed fast with Vincent sending with a servant the Altmer sisters in the Radiant Raiment the schematics for the Healer's Set making them very happy since that means they might get another bestseller with those clothes.

"You ready to meet the Emperor?" asks Elisif nervous.

"Yes, if something is really going to happen I will take care of it," says Vincent as they waited in the Blue Palace waiting for Balgruuf to arrive with the Emperor and his guards.

They wait when Emperor Titus Mede II entered with the Commander of the Penitus Oculatos in Skyrim, Commander Mora by his side. As well as a man named Varen that seemed to be his personal guardian. Balgruuf was leading them towards Elisif and Vincent and Elisif gives a bow to the Emperor while Vincent didn't.

It's not that he didn't want but that he couldn't make his body bent while the Emperor and Varen saw the Amulet hanging on his chest. Commander Mora was angry and says, "Are you going to rebel."

But Varen stops Commander Mora saying, "You shouldn't provoke someone that could raze whole Nirn down. Did you never heard who the High King of Skyrim is."

"I was following a lead about the Dark Brotherhood and wasn't really up to date with everything else," says Commander Mora bowing towards Varen and his Emperor.

"You shouldn't worry about the Dark Brotherhood any longer. I have taken care of them since they tried to attack me in Riften," says Vincent making Commander Mora as well as the other people around except for Elisif who already knew that Vincent absorbed them into his Spy Network.

"You killed them all?" asks Commander Mora not believing it.

"Yes, they were hiding in a secret base near Falkreath. One of my Dragons burned it down to get justice and warn the people what could happen if someone tries to attack their King," says Vincent in a threatening tone.

"I heard that Dragons Assembled around Bruma not even a week ago. Do you know anything about that?" asks Varen already knowing that it must have been Vincent that assembled them there.

"Not really. I was in Summerset getting some Gryphon eggs for my daughter," says Vincent shocking them again.

"How did you get there and came out alive?" asks Varen now seriously.

"No one would dare to put himself between a Dragon and his destination. The only people that I know that would do that are my people but they aren't on this continent," says Vincent as he felt bored and says, "How about we attend the wedding we came here for and talk afterward"

"Those are wise words let go together," says Emperor Titus Mede II as Balgruuf goes in front guiding them towards the Tempel where the wedding will be celebrated.

"You still remember our wedding?" asks Elisif as she locks her arm with Vincent's arm as they walk towards the Tempel.

"I would never forget that day. I almost got a Heart Attack when I saw the old man sitting there out of nowhere. I was rather surprised that the others didn't find out who he was," says Vincent as they arrive at the Tempel and both sit down on a bench beside each other with Balgruuf joining them while on the other side in the front row was the Emperor with his two guards were sitting.

The wedding went by fast and Elisif had picked a wedding gift for this wedding. It was a matching set of necklaces made by Eorlund for the couple.

They stayed for the feast as they were sitting on the second table with the Emperor and his guards and Titus Mede II says, "How about we talk now that we are sitting."

"Fine by me," says Vincent as he sits comfortably and continues, "What do you want to know?"

"How did you get that Amulet?" asks Titus Mede II curious.

"My father gave it to me two weeks ago," says Vincent as he begins to eat and says, "Anything else?"

"Who is your father?" asks Varen now not being able to stand still.

"The one you call Akatosh. I'm a Dragonborn after all. He came to me when I was hatching the Gryphon eggs and gave me the Amulet as a gift," says Vincent calm.

"You do know with that Amulet you could challenge my authority," says Titus Mede II making all of a sudden Commander Mora spill his drink out and stand up in shock.

All the people were looking at him while the other four people were sitting and eating normally making him look like a barbarian.

"I know but I still have to increase my influence here in Skyrim and make it peaceful before I can go and make the next region my ally," says Vincent making the Emperor smile.

"So you are going to Rebel," says Titus Mede II.

"That is the plan. After all, it's my birthright as a Dragonborn and son of Akatosh," says Vincent with a smile that said everything.

"You aren't taking the Empire serious?" asks Varen wanting to know the answer.

"Oh, I'm taking the Empire seriously but not it's Emperor. Once I rise to the throne the Dominion will seize to exist. I have an army of Altmers waiting in Summerset for the Empire to start the war against the Dominion," says Vincent making the Emperor open his eyes wide before closing them again.

"Who are they?" asks Titus Mede II curious.

"You will see when the war begins. When the Dragons begin to fly and the Summerset Isle are on flames. I will kill every Thalmor until no one of them is left," says Vincent seriously making everyone except for Elisif feel shivers run down their spines.

"So you will rebel. Maybe I should just give you the throne since I would lose anyway," says Titus Mede II calmly.

"You would save many lives by doing so. I heard a battalion died to one Dragon in Cyrodiil," says Vincent making the three people looking at him seriously.

"How did you know?" asks Varen trying to keep his mind calm.

"I have eyes and ears everywhere," says Vincent showing a mocking smile.

"Maybe we should change the topic," says Elisif as she was happy as well as preoccupied because of what was happening right now.

"No, it's alright. He is right after all. Varen even said to me that he would support you if you had the ambition to take the throne," says Titus Mede II making Commander Mora now fall from his seat making the people that were attending the feast laugh.

"How about you stay Emperor until everything calms down in Skyrim. After that, I will take the throne. I will march into the other regions and they will accept me either willingly or by force," says Vincent as he stands up and he helps Elisif up while saying, "I will now return home for now."

Elisif walks to the couple to apologizes for them to leave so soon. When Vincent calls for Odahviing to come alone. Odahviing was overflying the city as he lands in front of the barracks and both mount him to return home.

They were flying home when Elisif asks, "Why did we leave that early?"

"The Dragons from the other regions have arrived," says Vincent seriously.

"How many?" asks Elisif now nervous.

"Eight Dragons. They have come either to declare war or pledge loyalty," says Vincent as they were about to arrive.

"Are they going to New Haven?" asks Elisif.

"No, they will go to the Throat of the World. I will go there to know what they want with Odahviing," says Vincent as Odahviing lands and Vincent helps Elisif down and says, "Don't worry, I will be back soon."

Then Odahviing takes off again and flies towards the Throat of the World.
