Pattou: "This confirms it, I am Patriarch Blade..."

Present

As those words left Pattou's mouth, all who were present had paid homage to him. All bowed down, and even the civilians were shocked to see the sight before their very eyes. Apart from their Governor despot finally slain, but the sight of warriors who bowed before this tall, black haired man in a knight's armor holding onto a sword in its scabbard.

The captives due to the emotion of the moment had already called for surrender and that they awaited for their fate. Pattou would then instead offer for them to still retain their arms but now serve as defenders of Western Torrs. This moment, this night had begun a large step for the liberation forces.

Western Torrs Town Square, Morning.

The people had awoken not to the fast clashing of feet on the ground by Corrvin-Torrs soldiers, but of a march of former rebels, rogues, knights, and snipers who would then spread word to the citizenry that an important declaration was to take place at the Governor's mansion.

Sayfuro and some rogues and knights would clear the Governor's mansion to prepare for the liberation movement's official declaration. Pattou on the other hand is quite scared as he was once more in the innkeeper's inn, before he will be made to face the people. The innkeeper would then calm the newly discovered monarch with these words, 

Innkeeper: You know, your parents will be proud of you. Seeing you wield that blade that had been passed onto your bloodline for generations, it was a sight to behold. And the fact that you listened throughout my tale in your first visit here, a part of me knew that the last name you bear is not for show. You are indeed a Blade. Knowing the blood that runs in your veins, you will find the wisdom and courage to address these people to let them know that this period of oppression will end.

Pattou then gulps into the last few drops of the brew and thanks him, 

Pattou: I thank you kind innkeeper. I know this brew should bring in some courage but as you have said, for this, I will need to channel my bloodline. Hope you are able to watch or at least listen to it. Here is some gold... 

The innkeeper once again refuses, 

Innkeeper: Who am I to charge a liberator? But fine, one gold piece is enough to indulge you. But do know that what you have done for us, I cannot simply charge you for it as what will come after will be everyone's efforts after you have said your peace.

Pattou smiled and left the Inn, with Liger outside telling him, 

Liger: You ready, Pattou...I mean Lord Patriarch?

Pattou then laughed at his childhood friend and friendly punched him in the arm, 

Pattou: You know I am not used to that name just yet. Even coming from you.

 Liger: Honestly, I do not even know how to feel about the recent events. The fact that all along in the orphanage, we had nobility and that nobility was not a stuck up but one with us commoners or the fact that we all discovered it last night?

Pattou then began the march to the Regional Governor's Mansion, unbeknownst to him, the citizenry saw him and Liger march and as if out of jubilation or celebration, they had joined in the procession.

Upon reaching the Governor's mansion, Sayfuro and his men had finished clearing out the mansion, in time for the declaration as Pattou had already showed up near the gates. The march had ended near the stairs of the Mansion. Pattou would then turn around and see a flood of humanity. Apart from the soldiers that have joined in their liberation efforts the night prior and even in the forest, the citizens of Western Torrs had shown up in droves to witness this momentous occasion.

Pattou would then speak, 

Pattou: Wow, there are a lot of you here. Apart from myself and the two gentlemen who are standing beside me, Sayfuro Wuyong, my adviser, and Liger Chance, dependable sniper and childhood friend, we must all be eternally grateful to the soldiers, the knights, the snipers and the axe wielding rogues who also helped in the liberation efforts. 

The people cheered in response to this. Pattou continued on, 

Pattou: I know you may not know me but some of you witnessed what had occurred last night. Your former Governor is no more. Let me be the first to inform all of you, we are here to finally put an end to this reign of terror brought about by Baron Corrvin! We are here to liberate Torrs. We are not merely a rag tag bunch of bandits, rogues and rebels. We are liberators...no. We are here today for me to declare that this region of Torrs is now under the Blade empire.

Some of the citizens were caught unaware of the mention of the name Blade Empire. Some had their doubts, Pattou sensed it but knew how to dissuade this. 

Pattou: Sayfuro, may I ask that you draw the Legacy sword from its scabbard? 

Sayfuro was surprised but knew where his Lord is headed. He tried but to no avail, it would not budge. 

Sayfuro: Sire, I am unable to draw the sword.

Sayfuro said passing the Legacy Sword back to Pattou. 

Pattou: Shall we have a repeat of last night then?

As he said this, the sword is drawn from its scabbard and the sun bounces off it. Someone from the crowd who recognizes the myth of the Legacy Sword then shouts, 

Citizen: Of course, only a Blade can release that Legacy Sword. The man is truly a Blade. 

The crowd gathered was amazed by the spectacle. Pattou knew the perfect response, 

Pattou: Here before you is the long lost heir of the Blade bloodline. I am Patriarch Blade, son of Excal Blade and Cortana Blade. We shall end Corrvin's reign of terror and return prosperity together!

As he said this, Sayfuro had arranged for the Corrvin empire flag of a raven to be lowered down from the Western Torrs Tower. In its place being raised is the flag of the Blade empire, a white flag with a blue cross inside a circle with the lines outstretched. As this was happening, the people had began cheering, 

Western Torrs Citizens: Long live the Blade! Long live the Blade!

Word of this has already reached the other regions with the different resistance movements preparing for possible interventions from the Blade empire. However....

Torrs Castle, noon.

Word of the liberation of Western Torrs had reached King Baron Corrvin. He only tossed a goblet across the throne room and buried his head and long hair in his hands out of rage. Drake took this with expected nonchalance.

Drake: Brother, we seem to have underestimated this young upstart. Here I thought they were a bunch of lunatics enraging us for laughs. Baron would only look up enraged at his brother, 

Baron: That fat man was nothing more than a braggart. But at least he played his role real well. We now need to inform the 3 remaining governors to increase vigilance for possible invasions. Inform them! 

Drake understood the urgency and left the throne room.

Baron, now all alone uttered, 

Baron: So it seems you do still live. That bastard Excal did let his only son escape. He cannot ruin what I already have here now. He can keep the West for all I care, because once I take that fledgling Blade for good to join his parents, I will regain it all. I will once again rule everything.

With Western Torrs liberated, where will our heroes go next? Stay tuned!
