House Helexis's story page 5

back

The next morning Karigov was awoken by the clerk and was informed that a temporary podium was set up for the audiances. Karigov sat up and looked around in the small yet comfy room, beautifull wall tapastries all around it. It was as if all the tapastries had something more to say about the town, past events, even the founding of the town. One tapastry interested Karigov the most, one depicting a lot of death, he shook his head slightly and prepared to go to the town square.

When he got out of the clerk's house he was greeted by most of the townsfolk, who had gathered at the square for the audiances and the decree that House Helexis was going to put forward for the town. He greeted the townsfolk and made his way to the podium where other town officials had taken place.

When Karigov had made his way to the podium a chuby clerk opened the towns meeting with the topic of the new lord.

"Today, Lord Karigov of House Helexis is to govern our town of Forgersten."

"Well thank you lord..." Karigov looked over at the chubby clerk checking for his name.

"I'm Lord Eldrick milord..." Whispered the chubby clerk.

"Ah yes Lord Eldrick. I have come from the capital, whit me I brought the title of House Helexis and the lordship of this town. I hope that together with the people of Forgersten I can rebuild this town to a great cityship our even citystate."

The crowd cheered and became quiet again after Karigov made a sign that he wasn't done yet.

"Will the people of Forgersten help me rebuild the castle that lays in ruins up on the hill? Will you all help with raising banners, and put us Forgerstens on the map of the confederacy!"

The people cheered again and louder, Karigov was pleased and moved to the next order of the day, the audiances. He called forth a sertain ammount of people to hear for todays audiances as he wishes not to be overrun by requests and such. As he sat down on a chair ontop of the podium arrows were fired from the balcony of the town hall. The people dispersed and Karigov ducked for cover behind the large chair.

"What is the devil is going on! Constables on me, arm yourselves with sabers!" Karigov shouted.

Five men came hurrying threw the masses on the square. "Right lads! You two move towards the side entrence! The rest on Lord Karigov!" shouted Jerdis to the other officers near the square.

"Now then lets take the main doors to the town hall, and boys try and take this assasin prisoner!" snapped Karigov.
