Cobbler

Tovelm still not knowing how to read, was confused by this message

Tovelm can not read, so this message means nothing to him.

Jakob Flameforge would rise from seat

After reading this over I see no issues, I support this bill and urge the rest of the senate to approve it as well.

Senator Jakob Flameforge steps up to dias

“I swear to be true to the Emperor and the realm and not to maintain silence about any evil that I may know which is being contemplated against them. I swear to work tirelessly to the betterment of the Empire and the Orenian people that comprise it. I swear also not to eat or drink with traitors and not to have anything in common with them, and always to defend the honor of the gentlemen I serve. This I swear by the Holy Scrolls”

All Jakob Flameforge could do was stare at his oak desk. On it was nothing but a scrap of paper naming things he wanted to get done if he became the new senator. A single tear would come from his left eye and fall upon the paper almost next to Pierce’s name.

”When Curon gets a navy, the first boat should be named after Pierce. He won’t be able to wait to go on adventures on it.”

Jakob clenched his fist almost in rage as he began to crumble up the paper.

Then a thought crossed his mind, and he began to smile. He remembered coming to Curon for the first time with his brothers and meeting Pierce in the town square. Pierce didn’t want to be called King, or his majesty, just Pierce. This is what kept them there, through the hardship of the voidal mother, the bandits, the war. It was the leadership of Pierce and welcoming friendship no Lord or King had ever afford.

Jakob would un-crumble the paper as waves of nostalgia washed over him as he thought of all the kind memories he had of his king. He began scratching out all of the things on his list and decided to write one more thing.

”Make Pierce Proud”

Jakob would smile as he thought of his friend and then would get up to start his day.

Upon receiving the letter from the Ministry of Civil Affairs he would laugh.

“Ahh Yes, I remember being upset about bandits plundering my trade route that day. Must be why I answered that way on the Census.” said Jakob

Jakob would reach over to his letter binder and get another copy of the census and do again to completion. He would then return the census with another application for candidacy. This letter would read:

Dear Ministry of Civil Affairs,

I write to you that I must have been mistaken when doing my previous census. In the envelope you will find this letter, my new census, and new application for candidacy. Very sorry and thank you for the return letter.

Jakob Flameforge

Head of Flameforge Trading Co.
