Put it Behind
The James men hovered near the cluster of wagons, waiting. All their supplies and provisions were packed. The men had been fed, and there was no other unfinished business left untended. Cian and Corin Quinlanden were, together, cleaning up the messes left by The Deceiver, and the people of Whitechurch were relieved to follow them. Oakenwell had resumed command as the right hand of the lord, and though word had already been sent to the Westerlands for the Quinlanden Guard to return home, he sent it once more, and then sent riders to deliver the messages personally. Even a whisper of rebellion was to be put down with swiftness. The Westerlands were to be left in peace. At the proper time, reparations would be made to those whose lands and loved ones had been assailed.
