[Drazker 307]

Vectis was dining with his family when a courier delivered word to the doorman, who passed it on to a footman, who came and told the butler, Mister Brandon Forren. Brandon approached his master politely, leaning in and whispering the news into Vectis's ear. While most others were busy laughing, sharing stories, and supping, the act caught Lady Penelope's eyes. As the news finished relaying, the butler rose and returned to his ready posture at the right flank of the Lord's chair.

 

Vectis continued staring forward, his brow furrowed in thought. It was a great promotion, in addition to a great responsibility. Looking to his right, the newly appointed Count took hold of his goblet and raised it, the gesture of the toast quieting the table. As the eyes fell upon him, Vectis began to speak.

 

"Friends and family, this eve' I make a toast to His Royal Majesty. In recognition for my service to King and country, His Majesty has, in his unending grace, gifted our House with a new home in Herendul! The King has decreed I am to rule over the County of Skyed. For this gesture, let us drink to his continued success as King and to his health. Long live the King!"

"Long live the King!" the people shouted merrily! It was not long before the feast continued, with renewed vigor.

[Paint 51]

William chants along with his family "Long live the king in the north!" then commissons himself to paint something for King Edward as a gift of thank you for his kindess towards William and his family

 

The painting would soon come to King Edward himself wrapped in paper and when it opened it looks like this:

 

 

In writting is the following: "The King Of The North" Signed by William and dated.
