Sir Rain Aleese, the younger brother of the heir apparent to the Barony of Aleese, had been missing ever since the first night Lady Ashlynn's forces began raiding Lothian March. He disappeared along with Hugo Hanrahan and the Guild Masters from Blackwell.
When Hugo Hanrahan and Master Isabell appeared alongside Lady Ashlynn, the entire Lothian Court had been abuzz with questions about where the missing lord from Aleese had gone. Now, Serle had his answer.
At the very least, he could say that Rain Aleese wasn't living in squalor. His chambers were well furnished with plush sofas, intricately carved chairs and tables, and thick, soft rugs that all looked very comfortable. But 'comfortable' only encompassed a fraction of the adjectives that could be applied to the room that Sir Rain occupied.
