My name is Akatosh,
There is a kind of loneliness called "Clicking F2 but there is no option A".

In Winterhold, beneath Sattar, a small meeting was taking place.
Participants include the court mage of Solitude, Sibili Stent, the master of the Winterhold mage academy, Tolfdir, who is nominally affiliated with the Stormcloaks, and the leader of the wild vampires whose position is unknown, Morvas Pyrrhon.
If they wanted to, the strength they had at their disposal would be enough to change the situation in Skyrim Province, but fortunately, they were not of a character who would care about the change of authority among mortals.
"You must have felt the situation about the Lord God and the Ancestor, right? What do you think?" Xibili spoke first.
"What do you think? When they create a styleless organization like the 'Silver Hand', they will inevitably end up like this." Movas replied uninterestedly: "Do you want to get a share of the pie? Then I wish you the best. success."
"Ha, there is a being who destroyed the Vampire God and the First Lord together, but did not inherit the name of 'Morag Bal'. What is he doing, you think I can't see? I won't throw myself into a trap. "Xibili sneered.
"Since you are not here to recruit me, why do you come all the way to Winterfort? Don't you need to worry about your little princess?" Movas gestured in the direction of Dugu City.
"Although there will be no conflict, I don't want to appear in front of Sharp-eyed Eagle, and there are enough people who dote on her, so I am the only one who loves her." Xibili paused: "Of course I am here to recruit you, but But it's not to use the power left by the demon god. You know, during this period, the news of the death of various demon gods spread wildly, but except for the fact that Markas City was relatively detailed, other news was completely untrue. Sometimes It will still contradict itself, but this time the 'Death of the Demon God' that we can directly feel confirms those rumors."
"What do you mean..." Movas sat upright slightly.
"Now that those demon gods who like to stir up trouble have too much to worry about, we can build a second floating city. This time, no demon god will even activate Morrowind's volcano to knock it down." Sibili turned to look. To Tovdil, who had been unable to get in a word, he said, "We plan to let the Mage Academy fly. Do you have any objections?"
"I have an objection! Don't name it any more stupid names like 'Umbriel'!"
"Okay, what about 'Dalaran'?"
"Well……"
——7:19——
"Then, that...Ace?" Eddie, who was wearing a gorgeous little dress, mustered up the courage to call out to Esgel next to him.
Today, Dugu City will hold a wedding ceremony for "Princess Emilia" and "Second Son of the Snowhoof Family". After the wedding, the two will go to the Capital Province to invite the nobles and royal families there to have another wedding ceremony.
As a result, more than half of the Stormcloaks' combat power disappeared directly. If Ulfric wanted to continue to fight against the Empire, he could only fight for his own family wealth. However, it perfectly fulfilled the princess's wish to "quell the rebellion."
However, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, this wedding is basically showing what it means to "get rid of good cabbage by pigs", and it is also a quite big black wild boar. Even if someone dares to say "it's actually a good match", they will Drowned in verbal and written criticism.
In the chaos, Eddie fell into premarital phobia.
As a substitute for the princess, she had already anticipated that one day she might die for the princess, or that she would have to marry some nobles for some political purpose, but pretending to be a princess and marrying the person she likes? And because of this, Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia can no longer appear in front of others? Even if those who knew the truth, such as His Majesty the Emperor, Commander Tuka, etc., said they did not care about it, she could not pass her own test.
"What's the matter? Wife? - Well, it seems that I can't scream like that and do it all over again," Esgeil showed a silly smile to her: "What's the matter, dear?"
Wearing a special voluminous dress and festive accessories, even his originally fierce face seemed a bit softer. A slight smile at this time could still scare a child to tears.
"..." Eddie froze with red cheeks, repeating one sentence in his heart: You will regret it! You will regret this! You will regret this!
No, a weak but firm voice said, if I don't say it, I will really regret it, and it will be forever.
"I, I'm not a princess, and my name is not Amelia..." In the wedding lounge where no outsiders were present, Eddie's subtle voice barely spread far before it was dispersed by the noise coming from outside.
"Huh? What did you say?" Esgail raised his eyebrows.
"I said I'm not a princess..."
"No, second sentence."
etc? Shouldn’t I be furious at the first sentence I hear? Eddie looked at Esgail's expression carefully, but couldn't see anything.
"My name is not Amelia?"
"Then what's my wife's name?"
"Eddie, Eddie Septim..."
"Oh, I understand. I won't call you Emil in the future. Let me think about it, how about 'Xiao Ai'?"
Eddie was completely stunned. It took a lot of effort and mental preparation before he decided to say it, but it seemed that he didn't mind at all?
"You, you're not angry?"
"Oh, by the way, if your appearance is changed, I will definitely be angry."
Esgail stretched out his big hand, touched her head and pinched her cheeks.
"It's true! Otherwise, why would you be chosen as the princess substitute! What I want to ask is, aren't you angry that I am not a princess?" Eddie grabbed the hand directly.
"Why are you angry? The princess doesn't like me, but you like me."
"Huh……"
Esgail patted Eddie's little head again: "As for me, I can sense other people's feelings for me. The real princess is just 'curious' about me, but you are 'like'."
"I...you..."
"A teacher told me that if a woman is curious about a man, she is not far away from falling in love with him, so I was going to try to pursue him, and then I met you, which just saved me some trouble."
"So you also like princesses?" Eddie's thoughts suddenly returned to smoothness: "What if you pursue success?"
"Ah, how should I put it? What kind of person do you think I should like?" Esgail avoided answering: "At least in the eyes of my parents, I should like the kind of big~beautiful people~, but I just think it's scary. .”
The big black man made two S-shaped curves with his hands in an extremely exaggerated expression, and Eddie's eyes twitched.
"What I like is a male...like you and the princess, who are thin, small, a little dark, but very cute." This emergency avoidance probably used up all his life's wisdom: "Although I'm not sure, this kind of The type probably won’t like me.”
"I just like it!" Eddie had completely forgotten what he wanted to ask him just now.
"Hey, that's good." Esgail lifted Eddie and put it on his shoulders: "Let's go out and tell everyone."
"Put me down! Don't go! You big fool-"
——10:17——
Xueman, Longxiao Palace.
Lord "The Magnificent" Balgruuf was frowning at the dragons flying sporadically in the sky on the trapped dragon platform at the back of the palace.
Since the appearance of the legendary "Alduin", the number of dragons in the sky has gradually increased. From the beginning, a group of "dragon-slaying warriors" fought for a dragon. Now, even if there is still one dragon for each person, no one dares to fight it. situation, only a few months have passed.
It is said that both Chenxing and Falkreath were attacked by giant dragons. Due to the existence of the notorious Dragon Sky Palace in Xueman, the dragons did not dare to get too close, but they also refused to stay away. In this way, the surrounding farmland continued to produce Problems may arise.
"Lydia, there's no news about our baron yet?" he asked the shield-holding girl behind him.
"Not yet." Lydia replied.
When Baron Arthur goes out for something and leaves his bodyguard behind, according to the rules, she should be on standby at the Baron's residence "Fengzhai", but that place is now occupied by the comrades, because several of the comrades are also there. Wait for the Baron to return.
Therefore, Lydia had no choice but to come to Longxiao Palace part-time as a guard for the former lord during the day, and then go back to live at night - after all, those impure little girls did not dare to live in Fengzhai.
They were eager to get Arthur back, but they didn't want him to deal with those dragons. After all, he couldn't fly.
With constant friction between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks, and local conflicts breaking out from time to time, it is possible for either side to suddenly turn its back and send troops to capture Snowman. At that time, Balgruuf can only target the attacking side with all his strength, and if the people on the other side There was nothing he could do if he took advantage of the situation. Ileris and Hollongana were only generals at best, and it was impossible to handle the details of such a national battle. Although he did not have a deep understanding of Arthur's talents. , but presumably he will not disappoint himself.
"Lord! Ulfric Stormcloak from Windhelm City has sent a letter and...an axe." A guard came to inform.
"Ha, as expected, he couldn't calm down first," Balgruuf shook his head, turned around and walked towards the front hall of Longxiao Palace.
Giving someone an ax is an ancient tradition of the Nords. Its meaning is to confirm that a neutral person is "either a friend or an enemy."
If the recipient accepts the ax, it means accepting a gift from a friend. The two parties can basically reach a consensus and there is not much conflict. However, if the ax is sent back unchanged, this behavior means that the two have struck each other with an axe, and both parties have Irreconcilable conflicts have officially become enemies since then.
Obviously, since the Snowhoof family in Rift Valley City broke away from the Stormcloaks, and the attitude of the Blackthorn family, the real power there, has become less certain, the Stormcloaks' strength has shrunk by a small amount in an instant. He must turn his disadvantage into a defeat before it Launching an attack, it just so happened that the Imperial Legion was going to hold the wedding of the princess and the consort recently. Although the overall strength had not changed, it would not take the initiative to attack. It was a good opportunity for him to take action.
It should be the substitute who got married. Could it be that the princess, like Arthur, was involved in some incident from which she could not escape for the time being?
Whether it was war or peace, Balgruuf still had dozens of steps to consider.
