Chance it and head into the tower

You decide to take a chance as you doubt you will ever get this close to Silva again. The guards leading you into a long corridor to a large wooden door, the leader pounding on it as he shouts, "My lord your guests have arrived."

A chill goes down your spine and your hands clench into fists as you hear Silva reply, "Excellent... you may enter..."

You follow the guards into a warm but dark stone room. You look around to see a few simple tables arranged in a square in the center, the candles and the dim flickering of the fireplace on lighting up the area. Your eyes wander upwards to see a few stairs leading to a large chair... your blood boiling as you recognize your cousin Silva flanked by two of his guards in full plate and a hooded man behind him in the shadows.

"Come... stand inside the tables so I can see the celebrated champions of the area..." He says with a smile, tossing a half eaten turkey leg to a pair of chained up dogs, laughing as they fight over it.

He leans forward and looks at Azul, smiling as he says, "Well you certainly are quite fetching for a half bred Orc..." His eyes wandering to you he adds, "I can see why you decided to spare her life... and my guards say you two became quite acquainted with each last night..."

Leaning back in the chair he pauses before smiling and continuing, "Of course your performance earned you a night of fun..." Sipping from his goblet his eyes wander across your armor, "Tell me... where did you learn to fight like that...? It was an excellent display of swordsmanship with that beast of an Orc... I don't think there has ever been a champion to match that... and your armor so fine as if your sponsor cared for you..."

Unsure if he will recognize your voice you remain silent.

"I believe it is customary to speak when a lord asks you a question... but I am told you are a man of few words..." Silva says before the hooded man behind him whispers in his ear. Silva smiling as he replies, "Yes... yes... I shouldn't keep them waiting should I...?

Standing up from the chair he leans over the railing as he says wickedly, "I have quite the surprise in store for you two..."

You grunt as five of his personal guards grab you from behind and hold you tightly as he steps down towards you. "You see while I am impressed with you... I can hardly trust you now can I...?" Looking over at Azul he says "...a half Orcish whore and..." Grabbing your helmet he lifts it off your head and tosses it aside, "Unfortunately.. my own cousin John... tsk tsk tsk... I expected so much more from you..." Looking back at the hooded man he chuckles, "Oh you certainly are worth every penny..."

"I'll kill you you bastard!" You shout angrily, struggling against the guards. Azul's eyes going wide as she realizes who you are.

"Oh I don't think that's possible John..." He says with an evil grin, looking at his guards.

"Let me go! We should just settle this the old way... single combat! Unless you are a coward." You taunt him.

Silva laughs, "I have seen how you fight criminals in the arena... and perhaps you could kill me just as easily..." Snapping his fingers he adds, "Or perhaps not... no reason to leave this up to chance considering the... situation you find yourself in." Leaning in close he looks at you with anger as he taunts, "See you didn't come across me on some battlefield or in one of your father's tournaments... you came from the shadows. You're playing my game now you see... and I am just so much better at it than you are...."

Walking over to Azul he runs his finger across her cheek, "But don't worry... perhaps your friend here can learn to serve me... how about it there sweetheart...?"

"Don't touch me you monster!" She says angrily, spitting across his cheek.

Wiping it away he smiles as he says, "No... I am just a man..." Grabbing her hair he snarls, "But it should concern you that so many consider me a monster..."

Stepping back, Silva laughs before he shouts, "Guards... Why don't you show these two to their... accommodations... we have much to discuss."

Tossing a bag of coins to the hooded man Silva smiles as he says, "For services rendered my Silician friend.... but don't go too far as I will call on you soon."

You spy the man's hook for a hand as you suddenly feel yourself dragged backwards into the darkness... You hear Azul shouting with anger before you blacking out when a guard strikes you in the head.
