Leon Steelfang rode up to Wintersand Manor. His lackeys followed behind him closely. Dismounting from their horses, the bandits moved to the door, silencing the guards along the way. Ancarion blew up the door with a convenient spell, before the bandits entered and scoured the manor of loot.

After making sure everyone was dead, Leon Steelfang and his entourage returned to their camp. A spy came up, saying "Sir, there is chaos in Solitude right now. Do you want to attack?"

"Not just yet. I must wait for Sorin, Kantar, Rho and the imperial mercenaries to leave (Leon Steelfang has intelligence now!). Alyssa must be isolated and killed. I don't want a situation where I am captured."

"What about we decoy Alyssa here?"

"That would be better, if you can. I doubt she will leave Sorin, though. If Sorin comes here before I turn into a vampire, we could all end up dead."

"Then I will continue to observe the situation."

"Yes"

The spy placed his fist over his chest and bowed, exiting the main hut. Leon Steelfang had transformed mere bandits into a trained force. He would bide his time, for there was no way so many men could be sneaked into Solitude. He would make plans, though. He summoned Ancarion.

"Ancarion, take this 30,000 septims (small sum for Leon Steelfang now that he robbed Nazeem) and purchase Proudspire manor. Pretend to be an elven noble from High Rock. Hire some guards, but have our men here be your guards. Vladimir will be your personal guard. Go, now."

"What about you, sir?"

"They already know who I am, but they don't know you. Shave your beard! I know you came from High Rock and ran away from a rich elven family, so that part is easy. A sharp drop in temperature will mark my arrival. You will know it when you feel it."

Ancarion reached Solitude in the late afternoon. He immediately made his way to the blue palace, entering with pomp and power in a set of fine clothes, multiple gold rings on his fingers. Vladimir stood behind him, clad in shining dwarven armor minus the helm. Ancarion walked up to the steward and asked with reckless abandon "you have a house fit for a noble like me? I've came to Solitude for a house in Skyrim, one that my family can use. Do you have one?"

(Sorin and Alyssa meanwhile continue resting. Leon has intelligence covering the situation in Solitude, thus now he knows what is going on (hunting for the spy can be another objective to keep everyone occupied while the legion waits to attack the Fosworn). Ancarion is a spoilt rich kid who scammed his parents of their money. His parents did nothing to him for he was their only son (and they were so rich they didn't care). Leon Steelfang's final aim, however, is not to kill Alyssa or even Sorin, but to do something unthinkably crazy. For that, he needed money, lots of it)

(Well, looks like Falk needs to reply to Ancarion. Of course, nobody knows that he's actually a bandit, plus he has all the proofs available)
