King Ragnvald sighs as he signs off on the regency edict, then leaving to his quarters to mourn and rest by himself.

Einar Edvardsson Ruric would delicately scribe his signature onto the edict with his young daughter Edyth by his side as well as the King. Quietly, he would speak to Ragnvald as he passed, "Ye focus on gettin' better, lad. Ye hear? I'll make sure tha' everythin' is taken care of." He'd nod to himself before looking down at his daughter reading a book on a stool, "Come now, Edyth. We gotta ge' readeh for tha trip to tha temple la'er on when Ragnvald is feelin' better."
