James thought while riding to the capital with some 50 guards. His most elite band earned them the name Shark Teeth for there strength and power. He knew that this meeting will be interesting. He'd be able to talk with his in laws and see how there affairs are going. While he more then likely won't become Lord Regent he was almost positive to keep his title as admiral. He did however have some plans he wished to discuss with the Dawnbringer. After a 2 hours he arrived and while at first the royal landers looked at him and his men with distaste they still were intrigued. James then stood still with his horse for a moment and said "People Skyhaven, though you may look on me as a heretic. I do hope you will be pleased with my gifts. You may do whatever you wish to them." He then said to his guard captain "Show them what I mean." Then the guards reached into there satchels and tossed out little red rubies to the merchants. They did not seem impressed while rubies are interesting those that small of size wouldn't be worth anything. As they moved up the the richer district the switched to blue rubies. The Royal lords cared little for them. As they arrived to the gate before the palace he called up a man in a brown cloak. He nodded and took out what looked to be a stick. He waved it around twice the gave it two flicks and all the red rubies turned into pure white doves and all the merchants looked impressed. Then almost simultaneously the blue rubies rose into the air and shot up and turned into bright balls of fire they were colorful the Royal Land lords applauded and little did they see in front of them were small baby rabbits. James turned back and said "Don't forget what House Conrad can do with help from it's Southern Isle Brothers."
He then stepped off his horse as did his men some of his guards grabbed wooden boxes and held them while walking in.. The Royal Landers took there horses to the stables. 25 of his Teeth went with them the other 25 followed James into the palace. He then took a seat with his guard waiting for the arrival of all the lords of the land. Waiting to perhaps give a good shot at becoming Lord Regent.
