Marquis Brandford paced for almost an hour before finally coming to a decision.
He walked over to his desk and sat down to write a letter. When he was finished, he pulled on a cord beside his desk. A moment later, the butler entered.
"My lord."
The butler bowed.
"Call in Tierman," the Marquis ordered.
The butler bowed once more before leaving to summon Baron Tierman, the Marquis' Knight Commander.
When the fully armoured Knight Commander entered the study, the Marquis handed him the letter he had just written.
"Have this letter delivered," the Marquis said. "Personally."
There was a sharp glint in the Marquis' eyes.
"It shall be done." Baron Tierman nodded as he accepted the letter.
The Knight Commander and the butler both left the study.
Before walking away, the Knight Commander paused briefly outside the door.
Then he continued on his way.
A faint smile formed beneath the visor of his helm.
