    My father has been summoned by the High Lords. They already began moving. Chess pieces of Pis.


    The decree has order us to exile ourselves from the dukedom under the charge of treason towards the Dukedom, and harboring intention to be King.


    The high lords hade for Aries Vermont and his family and summon Aries. The Chess pieces of Henry Pis has made their move


    They had been ordered to exile themselves from the Dukedom under the charges of treason and harboring intentions to be king.


    Henry Pis had braced himself for retaliation but to his surprise the Vermont''s put up no fight. The Vermont''s did not hire sellsword or incited riots.


    Instead Aries Vermont captivated themonfolk on the day he was exiled from his domain.


    It''s not the sight of Henry army marching to Ariesnd that held themonfolk in awe it was Count Aries humility that makes them in awe.


    He did not fight the punishment and the usation, he did not go out of his resident with yelling and screaming and he did not curse the family that came to supnt his reign


    The people of Danoba watched the lords descend on the city, and saw their friend leave with dignity and humility. As he went he spoke to them and to the lords.


    "Everything I do, I do for love of this Dukedom. If I am unworthy and my intentions seem dishonorable then I will leave."


    The people of the new county of Acro and the city of Danoba love their ruler for Aries is kind and just, a jolly person and an unselfish person.


    His wife, the Countess is gentle, warm hearted and care about the people and always thinking about the people of the County.


    His son Arial is also famous in the Dukedom, solving many quests that helps many cities and viges with his Order of Knight.


    To those who met Aries son he is described as active, charming and brave, talented in leading his Knights to battle, and clever.


    The Vermont''s were loved in Danoba, and when news spread of their exile, the people were quick to protest.


    Henry vassal took the Vermont banner from the wall when they arrived and upied the city


    The banner was stripped from the castle and burn in the field by Pis troops


    It was a tant disrespect


    Aries had urged the people to follow his calm, dignified example, but when the family''s banner was stripped from the city walls, the lords were lucky that there were no riots in the streets.


    With dozens of caravans full of their possessions and their gold, Aries and his family left the Dukedom and headed to Seren, to seek help and asylum from his old friend Will Eren, from the House of Eren.


    Arial knew his daughter L from the Academy, a Purple Faery who had once joined him on a quest.


    Their family ride and rest in the city and rest for a while in Castle Villion belonging to the House of Villion where they are treated courteously and then continue our journey


    When they arrived in Seren Arial looked around in awe; on his previous visits he hadn''t had time to see the beautiful sights of the city.


    They passed the Fire God Temple, with a me that was said would never be extinguished. Every day, the faithful would guard the fire and make sure it is not extinguished.


    They crossed the Many Hills and then they passed through Liana River and stopped in the town of Lelia to see Sharp Mountain, it was said to be man-made with golden bricks and as tall as a mountain.


    It is different design from the design in the Dukedom. That is one thing he recognize when he sees their architecture.


    Finally, they arrived at Fierce Stone, the castle of the House of Eren. As servants hurried to store their belongings, Aries greeted Will Eren.


    The man was clearly disheartened at the fate of the Vermont''s family.


    "What bad luck you have, my friend," said Will, shaking Aries''s hand and patting his shoulder.


    "I''m afraid that''s life," Aries sighed.


    "Honor to meet you Duke of Athere" my mother said bowing slightly


    "No, no the pleasure is mine" he said.


    They were shown to their rooms by servants, and Arial sit down and he quickly pulled paper and a pen from his bag and began to write. His n was in motion.
