Fourteen
The Reward
Spring 952 MC
Upon learning that King Andred IV would be coming for a visit, the entire barony was put to work preparing. There would be feasts, celebrations, speeches, and lots of visitors, for the king never travelled alone. The Royal Entourage was famous for being large, which meant extra horses, soldiers, knights, servants and most of all, food. The current king had never visited Bodden having only assumed the throne some six years ago, upon the death of his father. His preference ran more to cities that had good hunting and sumptuous lodgings, than the barren locale of the frontier. No one thought to ask why the king was visiting, that was the royal prerogative, but once it was announced, everything must be done to make the visit perfect.
